And have you looked in the config.log file in the gtk+2 build directory to see if there's anything obviously wrong--looking in the wrong place, etc.? I don't know where the build dir is I did a locate gtk+ and the output was about 100 hits lots of those can be eliminated but I still don't know where it is. I assume it will be /sw/fink/something? Any hints? ********************************************************************* In my opinion trying to satisfy a dependency by going back and forth is exactly the wrong thing to do. If a Fink package can't find some header but you can make it work by installing via darwinports, that means that a build dependency on the package that provides that header needs to be added to the appropriate Fink package. Trying to overlap Fink and darwinports in the same directory structure seems to me like a recipe for chaos. I hear you-I have chaos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voice Messages, Voice Calls (VoIP), Video Conferencing, http://www.x-mail.net Anonymous SSL Web Surfing, http://www.snoopblocker.com Search http://www.teradex.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.
