You can't (easily). Pretty much everything GNOME related tends to do various hacking about in configure scripts to check for versions which is not an ideal situation. If you're not into configure scripts, you could probably do some hackery with the output of: anaconda 5% gnome-config --modversion gnome-libs-1.0.55 but it's not going to be pretty. Next shared library version number bump for gnomelibs is likely to be with the release of GNOME 1.2 (or whatever it gets called). > (This time I've realized how cool it was done with RPMs...) > Isn't it a time to move to any sane packaging system, such as RPM or > Debian ??? See the mailing lists archives for all the gory details of the (many) times this has been discussed :) -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
