Thanks,
I have everything in the right place now. But I still don't
understand what to do with the paths - can't find any documentation. My
current ld.so.conf file is as follows:
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
I'm out of my league here and I know it... thus, I can't even
really say if this is the problem. But when I try make applications that
require the gtk library I get all kinds of can't find includes errors and
that is only happening when I try to make something that requires GTK. So
I think the library is not in my path and I'd like to get it there but
have had no luck so far.
The gtk librarys seem to reside in /usr/local/lib as it contains
libgtk.* this and that. The headers appear to be in usr/local/include/gtk
Perhaps I should have used an RPM but I've never been known to do
things the easy way, and I'm trying to learn more than I can by simply
installing everything from an RPM... and, well, here I am...
Worse yet, all this is the result of my needing a FTP client that
works a bit better than ncFTP does. I do a lot of work on sites which
usually don't allow telnet access and ncFTP doesn't always display the
entire contents of a remote directory. I've been switching to Windows when
this happens, but it just seems to me that there ought to be some way to
be able to do this reliably on my Linux box. And thus I'm trying to
install wxFTP which, according to the documentation, probably won't do any
better than ncFTP does...
Peace be with you,
Brent Sims
