[gtkmm] Compilation installation & programming

[Jill Rhoads <jrhoads rhoads nu>]

Well, I've gone through the last few days email about installation
problems and can definitely confirm that Daniels a solution works in order
to get it to compile...

It looks like sigc++ has a installer that creates everything within the
catalog you're compiling in instead of installing in the rest of the
system.  Anyhow...  I managed to get it to compile..and with Daniel's b
solution I managed to get the tutorial simple.cc to compile. (However, I
would have rather NOT have to had set the env variable..I was hoping that
the installer would put the .pc in the correct dir.)

>    whatever.

However...when running the program I get the following error...

>./simple: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.0.so.1: cannot
>open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas?  I didn't get ANY errors while installing...
