All that was previously asked was 'where do I find gtk.h'. I went into /var/log/packages and grepped for it, and found the package it was in. Yeah, their site is broken. Then email them and say 'Selecting version 8.0 and i386 doesn't work' and describe the error. If you want the one from slackware-8.0, replace 'slackware-current' with 'slackware-8.0' in the directories given there. I just checked, and it works. Dunno what's up with the slackware-current directory. It's pretty empty, and doesn't contain a full distribution. All I could recommend is getting the file out of slackware-8.0. I've noticed the decline in quality, too... when I first installed Slackware 8, I had to hack one of the setup files to get it to mount reiserfs properly during the package installation phase. Seems to be fixed now, but it was kind of odd to run into. It'd be nice to know what's going on, but the only news they ever post is about packages and such. -- Michael Vieths Foeclan at Visi.com On Fri, 14 Dec 2001, Shawn wrote: > On Friday 14 December 2001 10:56, Michael Vieths wrote: > > In Slackware, you'd want to install gtkplus.tgz to get gtk.h.
