It doesn't seem to be present on my vanilla Red Hat 9 machine, on which "pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0" gives "2.2.1". Specifically, I can't find the header file <gtk/gtkaction.h> (which was put in the CVS version of GTK from libegg on 24th August 2003). This file also doesn't seem to be present in the 2.2.4 tarball, which I believe is the most recent stable release.

Gnome depends upon GTK - do we have a strong enough ABI guarantee that we can upgrade GTK and not have everything built on it break?

Thanks for the warning. Hopefully they are minor at the moment. -- David Malcolm www.conglomerate.org _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
