I may not be typical, but in my use of glib etc thusfar for netperf I've not had any desire to install source unless I was compileing somewhere were I didnt' already have a binary/library. I'm not really interested in how library call foo is implemented, I just want to know how to call it do get my work done. rick jones _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
