Be aware that gcc-3.4.x and gcc-4.x.x are not ABI compatible. If your old system was built with 3.4.x then stuff compiled on the new one won't work. Perhaps you can install gcc-3.4.x on your new system, compile the libraries with that, and then ship them across? _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
