I need the slolutions to 4 problems: 1.) How to know which version of Gtk+, gcc, glib etc. I am using. 2.) I think there is some general way of knowing the versions of different sogtwares installed on one's system. If there is anything like this,please tell me. 3.) Please tell me "What are and how to use LINKER FLAGS like Wl, -L, --rpath. 4.) (MAIN PROBLEM) -- GNU VCDImager problem: I have installed "LIBCDIO-0.73" on my system (FC-3). During "./configure" it gives 2 messages: a.) libcddb bot found b.) libvcdinfo not found not able to find NEW VERSION of vcdinfo.... disabling vcdinfo ALSO when i run the << make check >> i get the following output (i am only showing the ERROR PART) ################################################################################ PASS: check_fuzzyiso.sh cdparanoia III release 9.8 libcdio 0.75 i686-redhat-linux-gnu (C) 2001 Monty <monty@xxxxxxxx> and Xiphophorus (C) 2004, 2005 Rocky Bernstein <rocky@xxxxxxxxx> Report bugs to bug-libcdio@xxxxxxx Checking ./cdda.cue for cdrom...
