Yes, thank you for reporting again but I got that, I installed following packages: gail 1.8.2-4 gail-debuginfo 1.8.2-4 gail-devel 1.8.2-4 libgail-gnome 1.1.0-4 libgail-gnome-debuginfo 1.1.0-4 libgail-gnome-devel 1.1.0-4 > > As a rule of thumb, if anything breaks complaining about a particular > dependency not being met, please try searching for the relevant devel > package. mhm > Another note: By using 'locate' to hunt for the mentioned .pc file you > would have noticed that file most likely to be not installed.

So unless you find > that file, it definitely is not the path. cannot find that file(gtk+-2.0.pc), not with locate, not with find and not either with the KDE search engine... _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
