Sorry. Line from "Seventh Son" a Willie Dixon tune popularized by Muddy Waters. Googling for the phrase makes me realize how far on the other side of the cultural divide I *am*! > PSS: What, no Beverly Hillbillies Episodes today? > They're almost heavenly. See what I mean?

What Linux sometimes does is to put a >> "symlink" file in /lib libfoo-0.0.1.so.2 -> libfoo.so FWIW, I got that backwards. We want "libfoo.so" to point to "libfoo.some.ugly.name.so.42". >> or whatever. >> That might help you, but would mean that your users would have to >> create such a symlink, too. > > Could not the tool or installer do it for them? Yes, presumably so. __NR_symlink is 83, if we wanted to do this installer in asm, using system calls. Never tried it, but I imagine it works "as expected". The more usual way to do an install would be via a script, but you could do an installer in asm, if you wanted to. I suppose it wants a cartoon interface. This may be a "gotcha". Best, Frank

In the Fedora distribution, it appears to be called gtk2-devel-2.10.14-3.fc7, and is described as: The gtk+-devel package contains the header files and developer docs for the GTK+ widget toolkit. -- Chuck |
