Including the GTK+ library in the linux_base 7.1 port/package, as I suggested, is a proper way to solve it. Another would be to enhance the packaging utilities so they can parse information like "linux-gtk port works fine with either linux_base 7.1 or linux_base 8.0". NetBSD has this capability. -- Trevor Johnson
