This looks promising. I was hoping for an already built GTK library, as is available in an earlier, incompatible, version. Building from the sources is complicated. I've tried following the instructions once and got lost. I'll try again. Is it certain that the directions are correct? My French is pretty good and, outside of technical terms, this is pretty straightforward French. In particular, I'm questioning the placement of some of the apostrophes (single quotes). Following the directions unquestionly, I ended up with some symbol expansions ($) in my .bashrc and .profile files that would have been unexpandible at login time. For example, the symbol instbase, which is the base symbol for all of the expansions, is not in the .bashrc file. Charlie -- Nobody in this country got rich on his own. You built a factory--good.
