well I run potato with some extra packages on my box, the extra pacakges I get
by compiling them myself.
fortunately glib and gtk are really easy to compile for potato.
it is basically a case of grabbing the gtk and glib source packages and patch
files from the pool on a debian mirror and using dpkg-buildpackage on them.
If you want the easiest solution try
add
deb-src http://some.debian.mirror/debian unstable main contrib non-free
to your sources.list
then type
apt-get source libgtk1.2 libglib1.2
then in that directory there will be a gtk and a glib directory, go into glib
and type
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
install the resulting deb files,
do the same for gtk
you can infact say apt-get -b source and it does the building for you, however
I dont like doing it to this extent so hey.
See You
Steve
