In that case, I'd really like to figure out whats happened to gtk on my system, and why a broken attempt to make the new X.org X managed to fsck it up so bad when it didn't actually (that I know of, a make install was never executed) install anything. I've done everything but blow away the /usr/src/build dir, which is lndir'd to /usr/src/xc as they recommended. The make was attempted from within the /usr/src/build directory, and will eventually bail out. The errors were posted to the X.org list, where they were given only token attention to without any suggestions actually bearing fruit. One of the problems is that I have 3 pkg-config setups here, one in /usr/bin, one in /usr/local/bin, and one in the currently executing /root/kde3.2 tree. This is what you get for using konstruct to build kde I guess. I would like to know howto combine all those pkg-config files into one, and simplify my $PKG_CONFIG_PATH env var. Heck, just finding the actual configs is almost a stumble over it thing, and some of them have GOT to be stale. There doesn't seem to be any real organization framework that says if glib-conf is in such and such, then it ought to be in a similar location in the other trees. Locate says I've got these: /usr/gene/src/kdenonbeta/konstruct/misc/pkgconfig/work/pkgconfig-0.15.0/glib-1.2.8/glib-config which is an rsync'd backup of the firewall machine, and /usr/src/konstruct/misc/pkgconfig/work/pkgconfig-0.15.0/glib-1.2.8/glib-config Which is for glib-1.2.8. But when queried, it returns that glib is 2.2.3 but 2.4.0-1 was installed by the checkinstall -R method. And this is what keeps gtk+-2.4.0 from completion of its configure. 2 hours later: I've done a bit of housecleaning in the /*/*/lib/pkgconfig dirs, and in the includes, getting rid of broken and stale links and files, and I'm getting a bit further with the gtk+-2.4.0-1 configure now and this error is not making a whole lot of sense to me, pango-1.4.0-1.i386.rpm is installed, and I nuked any /usr/local/include/pango-1.0/1.2.0 stuff I found since there was now a 1.4.0 in the same dir: ----------------------- checking Pango flags... -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/Xft2 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 configure: error: *** Can't link to Pango.
