Wonderful, thanks. I had gtk+2 but not libgtk??!! So what I "knew" I had installed wasn't what it wanted anyway.
Thanks for the help with the urpmi command, and to Anne for the link to the Wiki site. My compile seems to be running now, so fingers crossed I should be OK now.

Or if you know what the missing file is called: urpmf <missing_file> which gives you the package example, I'm looking for the package containing 'libgnat.a' [EMAIL PROTECTED] bnl]# urpmf libgnat.a gcc-gnat:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.3.2/adalib/libgnat.a that is, I can find it in 'gcc-gnat' -- /Björn ------------------------------------------------------------------- http://lundin.homelinux.net Registered Linux User No. 267342 <http://counter.li.org>
