You would be wanting glib2-2.6.x. You can try the glib2-2.6.x packages from rawhide but they might fail dependency checks if you try an "rpm --upgrade" using them (i.e. they could break something you already have installed, which requires glib2-2.4.x). So you might be better off building glib2-2.6.x from source and installing it in /usr/local/... You'll probably need to do the same for gtk2-2.6.x. P.S. I ask you again, like Stuart did, not to top-post on this mailing list. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
