Re: apt-get!?!

[Denis Leroy <denis poolshark org>]

For Fedora 3, the gtkmm libraries are not part of Fedora Core (i.e. what comes 
on the DVD), but are part of 'Fedora Extras' (the online-only community-driven 
part of Fedora).

So you will have to change your yum configuration to make sure it includes the 
Fedora Extras packages. Please consult this Wiki page for instructions :

  http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras_2fUsingExtras

then just do 'yum install gtkmm24 gtkmm24-devel'
