Thanks for the quick reply. Of course, RPMs would be best. Now I have embarked upon an exciting search for them. I found the section on RPM package building toward the back of the manual and probed around a bit. Soon I found /root/bacula-1.38.11/platforms/suse/bacula.spec.in. There is a section in it describing BuildRequires for each OS version. I note some discrepancies between versions for some of the items and the versions demanded when I tried to make gtk. Also, examining my installed packages with YaST, I find that most of them are there, at least the versions listed in bacula.spec.in, but not necessarily what the gtk make required. Maybe my problem is that I already have gtk2-devel v. 2.8 installed, but had tried to make v. 2.6. Comparing bacula.spec.in to YaST, the only thing I am missing is bonobo-activation-devel. When I tried running rpmbuild I got an error of this sort: error: File /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.tar.gz: No such file or directory I tried copying bacula-1.38.11.tar.gz there, but the error persists. People on this list have been very good about helping me get Bacula going the first time around and I don't want to impose on your patience, so I will consult the Internet for information regarding building my own RPMs. YaST will certainly be happier that way.
