For example, when installing fvwm2, I got: >>Checksum OK for gtk+-1.2.10.tar.gz. ===> gtk-1.2.10_3 depends on executable: libtool - found ===> Returning to build of fvwm-gnome-2.4.6 Error: shared library "gtk12.2" does not exist *** Error code 1 1 error I have had similar errors trying to install GNOME (same error, GTK after all), X 4.2 itself, and XFree86-Server and a few others. Presumably these are all related, as these are all popular apps and are not likely to all be broken. Perhaps a library directory is not in my lib path for some reason, but I have no idea where that would be and, if I did, have no idea what path to add. The output of my uname -a (if needed) is: FreeBSD palladium 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #1: Tue Apr 9 02:41:47 PDT 2002 root@palladium:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PALLADIUM i386 Any ideas? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
