Re: Uninstalling gtk

[Daniel Campos <daniel campos tiscali es>]

Hi:

I've installed GTK+2.7 on a Madriva 2005, and I didn't remove anything:
that way the systems thinks the old GTK+ version is already installed, so
there's no problem with dependencies. The new libraries overwrite the
old ones, provided that you configure the packages with the 
--prefix=/usr option.
And these libraries are binary compatible, so the applications still work.

It worked for me in a transition from GTK+-2.4 to 2.6 in my former Mandrake
system, and now with the change GTK-2.6 to 2.7 (however 2.7 is still a 
testing
release, so some times Firefox and Thunderbird crashes)

Regards,

D. Campos
