Also, i want to make it clear that, my existing gnome installation(2.10) doesn't load correctly because of setting up, LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/src/lib. i am not trying to run a entirely new gnome compilation. Basically i want my existing Gnome installation and use /opt/src as test bed for running apps created using latest libs from SVN/CVS(mostly GTK#). I think most of the Gnome programmers have such a setup, where they use stable Gnome installation and use /opt/src as the location for having latest apps from SVN/CVS. But as i said earlier..setting up LD_LIBRARY_PATH to this new location breaks the existing Gnome install. As it seems, all the Gnome apps, try to load shared libraries(such as gtk+,atk,pango,glib) from /opt/src/lib. Which contains latest builds from CVS. But as they were compiled against older libs(gtk+2.6 in my case), hence the problem. I have a feeling that putting up these path in /etc/ld.so.conf may solve the problem. I will try to make it more clear. For example, Monodevelop is compiled with Gtk#-2.8, some dependecy loop forced me to compiled gtk+-2.8, for compiling gtk#-2.8. So i have gtk#,gtk-2.8 compiled and installed in /opt/src. If i remove /opt/src/lib from LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then existing gnome-2.10 will work flawlessly, but then monodevelop will not work.. with regards hemant __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
