Hi

I'm new to slackware; new to linux really, and trying to learn as much as I can by using slackware rather than sticking to fedora or 'buntu or something (actually using absolute at the moment but its much the same thing AFAIK).

My problem is that a significant number of packages I have tried to install seem to require GTK+2 versions newer than or same as version -2.14.7. I have had this warning while installing from source and when installing via Gslapt.

On slackware 13 and Absolute linux (based on slackware 13) the GTK is a newer version than 2.14.7 (2.18.0 according to Gslapt), so why is this happening? I did try installing version 2.14 but still got the warnings.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Slackware includes 2.14.7, not 2.18.0, according to this link.

Try installing your own into /usr/local if you are willing, but mixing versions tends to be a world of hurt.
