Problem with compilling XFCE

[Olivier Fourdan]

Karol,

glib-2.x/gtk+-2.x and glib-1.2.x/gtk+-1.2.x aren't compatible in any way (ie
it's not source compatible nor binary compatible)

You need glib-2.0.x + pango-1.0.x + atk-1.0.x + gtk+-2.0.x (all packages that
make gtk+-2.0, in a nutshell)

Since most gtk programs out there haven't been ported yet, you'll need probably
both gtk+-1.2 and gtk+-2.0 installed. Note that rh8.0 already comes with gtk-1.2
and gtk+-2.0 (but what you might be missing are the devel packages, red hat, in
its default install, usually doesn't install the required headers to build the
programs but just the binary libs to run precompiled programs)

To check that you have the correct libs, use pkg-config :

e.g.:

$ pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --modversion
2.0.6
$ pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion
2.0.6
$ pkg-config pango --modversion
1.0.4
$ pkg-config atk --modversion
1.1.0

Cheers,
Olivier.
