Some packages seem to be dedicated to running in the Linux world and UNIX has been long forgotten. At least the concept of "it should just compile clean with ANSI C" has long since been forgotten. I'm not sure how Jonathan Wheeler made it through a few revs of GTKPod without screaming bloody murder. Sort of like your experience with GTK2 ? I see you rev'ed or respun again three times this weekend and you leave me no instructions on what to do with them. These guys I mean : 10117347 Dec 17 10:30 gtk2-2.12.3,REV=2007.12.17-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz 8825706 Dec 17 10:30 gtk2-2.12.3,REV=2007.12.17-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg.gz In any case .. do you have a songbird beta in your hand there ?
