just get libgtk1.1.*  it won't interfere in any way with libgtk 1.0.*.
Of course you would also need the libs/packages that libgtk1 depends upon
;-)

gnome + gtk + dpkg

[Graham Ashton]

I've finally decided to bite the bullet, and install GNOME. I'm running
hamm, without any packages from slink or potato installed.

I've downloaded the .deb files for the basic gnome system from
ftp.gnome.org, and thought I'd try and work out how to install them
with dpkg.

The problem is, it's conflicting with the versions of gimp and gtk+
and glib that I have installed at the moment (snipped output from dpkg
-l);

gimp1.0.0-1The layers-based, non-Motif GNU Image Manipu
libgtk1 1.0.4-1The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets for X
libgimp11.0.0-1Libraries necessary to run the GIMP

So I'm obviously going to have to update quite a bit if I want
everything to run smoothly.

Can any of you GNOME + gimp users advise me here? Ought I to move up to
gtk+ 1.1.x, or should I stick as closely as possible to the stuff that
comes with hamm?

Thanks.
