Re: compiler error

Oops, I see now that the gtkmm-2.9x versions (2.90, 2.91, 2.99) are 
actually unstable very early versions of gtkmm-3. They can probably only 
be used together with equally early versions of gtk+-3. I recommend that 
you don't use them. If you need gtkmm-2, use gtkmm-2.24.4, if you have 
gtk+-2.24.x installed, or else compatible versions of gtkmm-2.xx and 
gtk+-2.xx. Don't use gtkmm-2.24.3. It has many problems, as discussed in 
bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697835.

It's not necessary to install gtk+-2 and gtk+-3 with different prefixes. 
gtk+-2 and gtk+-3, as well as gtkmm-2 and gtkmm-3, can be installed in 
parallel in /usr. But it does no harm to install them at different 
locations.
