Re:gtk-script: where and what is it? + package conflicts

[Mr. Strockbine]

 Are you sure it wasn't looking for 'gtk-config'? I just ran make on
 the 0.1b2 tarball and there was no mention of 'gtk-script'. Seemed to
 build ok.

 Can you post a listing of what you're seeing?

ah yes, it is gtk-config I was missing.  I went on to
install libgtk1.2-dev as someone else suggested.

This however leads me to another topic.  What to
do about conflicts?  In the below trace `dpkg' won't
depends on a slightly different version of libgtk1.2
than I have installed.  At this point I decide to stop
because I don't know the consequences of replacing
my the helix version with the other.  I suppose it
takes more detective work,  and more time than I
wanted to spend.

I was attracted to this netferret tool because in my
win98 days I had actually paid for a similar tool called
web ferret.

mount permissions

[Mr. Strockbine]

when my FAT32 file systems are mounted at
boot time the owner and group are root.
As a regular user I can read files but not
write them.

I have the user option in my /etc/fstab file
like so:
/dev/hdc6  /matrox/mx6 vfat defaults,user 0 2

so I can `umount' and then `remount' as a regular
user and then I'm the owner and group and I have
read write permission.

so what's the point of having this file system
automatically mounted at boot time?  Or is there
another way around this?

password protect a directory?

[Mr. Strockbine]

is there a way to password protect a directory?
for instance there is a single ftp account on
a machine (one user-id/password combo) and its
shared amoung several users.  Is it possible for
one user to password protect a directory so the
other users cannot view the contents?

gtk-script: where and what is it?

[Mr. Strockbine]

I was attempting to install
netferret but it complains that
it can't find gtk-script.  I did
a find on my whole system and found
other gtk- stuff but not that.
can any one clue me in?
