Yes. But it was just a warning. Do you think this is the cause of my
problems?

I can redo those if they can be unpicked from the data file.

Indeed it does. However it didn't work so I thought I would try recompiling
in case there was
some sort of library incompatibility.

Not for me:

yum search gtkthml
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Warning: No matches found for: gtkthml
No Matches found


 However, assuming you right and:

yum install gtkhtml3-devel

works!

So I have recompiled it and it is still doing the same thing. This may be no
surprise, but it was
worth a try.


What can I try now?


Thanks.
