Sorry to get back on topic ;).... but does anyone know of a good apt
repository with up to date GTK2 packages for red hat 8?
Cheers.

SuSE included it on the 8.1 CDs but then dropped
it again from 8.2.
SuSE tend to bundle a lot of stuff, much of which doesn't really
work yet or hasn't been well packaged -- I think at least one of
those was probably the case here.

My experience with SuSE 8.1 is that it does a good job at installing and
usually delivers what it claims. It's just that the apps tend to be old
versions. And it funny that You mentioned Ardour because it's the only
one (that comes to mind) that I remember having problems installing.
That doesn't mean that there hasn't been problems with how well the apps
are that are included with SuSE 8.1, it just means that I can't (recall)
having problems with installing or running any other apps. Actually, I
find that the dependencies and installations are pretty good. Like I
said, the only thing I can say bad is how old some of the apps are
though. But all that is needed to run the programs are there and do
(tend) to install without a hitch. At least they do with SuSE 8.1.
