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". cronyx:packages [264] dpkg -i libgtk1.2-dev_1.2.8-1.deb (Reading database ... 66176 files and directories currently installed.)
