Well I must admit that it has taken me a couple of weeks to upgrade...
:-)

Guppi-0.40.2
ORBit-0.5.17
bonobo-1.0.22/
freetype-2.0.9/
g-wrap-1.3.4/
gal-0.23/
gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0/
gnome-audio-1.4.0/
gnome-print-0.37/
gnumeric-1.1.13/
gtkhtml-0.16.1/
oaf-0.6.10/
pkgconfig-0.15.0/



when configure complained, I downloaded a tarball with the a newer
version ... recursively :-)

updated ld.so.conf if needed

popd back to the last failed package and continued

If in fact I have a lib or two that is "too old", isn't configure
suppose to catch that ?
