What I don't know is if it would be worth the
effort given that fc4
appears to have the proper versions. I'll cross that bridge when I get
time to build those packages for Planet CCRMA...
And when you get that done there will be a whole bunch of new programs
based on the lastest and greatest libraries that won't be able to be
compiled on FC4? This has been happening for years, just a fact of
life in the linux lane(which I prefer over the "it just works, trust
us" software lines).
I have had this problem with qt before (ie: developers wanting the
latest version for the app to build - I had to build newer versions of
qt to support newer apps) but I don't think I had hit it with gtk2.
I'm pretty sure there must be some very convenient api feature in the
new version of gtk2, but I still would urge developers to stay one or
two major versions back in their requirements, so that their software is
easier to build on older versions of distros.
