RE: RHEL 6.2 and gtk+ dependency hell

[Sarah Duncan <sarah_duncan wgbh org>]

Thanks Yeti!  I did finally find all of the necessary versions, but would still be glad to learn a bit more from this experience, if you don't mind.

Part of my problem has definitely been that I don't know the nomenclature, so it's not obvious to me that gtk2-devel is the same as source code for gtk+-2.0.  I know unix well, but am relatively new to Red Hat and Linux.  I tried googling "gadmin red hat", "gadmin rhel packages", and a number of other variants, and couldn't find packages for gadmin-proftpd for rhel6, which is what prompted me to install from source.  Are they out there?  

Thanks,
Sarah

You mean

    yum install gtk2-devel

does not work?  (Assuming gadmin-proftpd is something you want to
compile from sources.)
