I tried compiling the source for 1.4-4, and hit the following error:

checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.7... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config 
search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.7) not met; consider adjusting 
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix 
so pkg-config can find them.

I seem to have gtk2 installed (gtk2-2.0.6-8), but not gtk+-2.0. Is
there a difference?


Also:

I tried installing the Mozilla 1.4-4 binaries on a test system. It did
not run. So, on the chance that there was an undetected dependency, I
tried installing the gtk+ 2 libraries, like so:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -ivh gtk2-2.2.2-1.i386.rpm pango-1.2.3-1.i386.rpm 
glib2-2.2.2-1.i386.rpm freetype-2.1.4-2.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libXrandr.so.2 is needed by gtk2-2.2.2-1

Where does one get libXrandr.so.2?

Here is a question for RPM package builders: Why are there
dependencies such that you can't tell the name of the package that
resolves the dependency?
