[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: GTK 1.2 -- it's in FC2 (try up2date, or grab apt)

[Pervaz Allaudin]

Thanks
must be my paths because I am getting
gtk+-1.2.10-29.1.1 for $  rpm -qa |grep -i gtk |grep -i "1\.2"

but two Advance calc programs are giving me

checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check 
your installation and add the correct paths!
and
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.

I'll try adding the /etc/gtk and /usr/lib/gtk into the su path
