OK so I think I've sorted out a mountain of dependecies but when I make gtk+-2.4.0 I get this:

Does anyone know what this could mean all these undefined references?

Thanks for any help

ps sorry I guess this should be in the sofware forum

it looks like you don't have the correct version of glib installed. As you're installing gtk+ 2.4 have you already installed glib 2.4 and atk (1.6 I think?)?

yes I have those installed as the configure script wouldn't run without them

I have the same problem during the gtk compilation (2.4 and 2.2.3)...

If you have solve it, can you say how ?

thanks for your help...
