Or gtk2, or dbus, or libnotify... (should the minimum requirements for those packages be bumped in rhythmbox). Yes, I know it's possible, I can do it, but you then need to install it in a private area and set things up so it compiles against the private one and not the system version (to avoid messing up other packages). Also it makes it more difficult for more casual testers (or plugin writers) to help out and therefore increases the perception that rhythmbox is hard to test and develop for. At the very least you should update INSTALL.quick because the requires are now out of date: - Totem-plparser 1.1.5, which can be gotten by installing totem 1.1.5 or higher All in all, such a major build dependency should have been discussed or mentioned on the list before being committed to SVN.
