The only reason you have to use the GKT_CONFIG trick above is because we support having multiple versions of GTK* installed and renaming the gtk*-config scripts is the best way of accomplishing this. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
