I'm trying to install a prog that requires Gtk2.0 and I can't get it to install for the life of me. At least, when I tried to compile the GTK source, it gave me all kinds of problems but I used dselect to install it and it says it worked (with dependencies) but still the prog I'm trying to install (Gaim) keeps saying that it can't find where GTK is. I'm trying to install version .79 of Gaim.

I'm a newbie also, but isn't it true that if Gaim 0.77 which came with Knoppix works, then 0.79 should work also? The requirements from .77 to .79 didn't change much.... Not that I can tell.
