Conrad,

Is there a way to find out which libs are in which packages? or, which
.so is found where/within what, in order to install it?

I got past the last problem. How, I can't really say. I just went through
and installed any devel packages that seemed remotely related, about 5-6
more. Now it gets past the xmlNewDoc(), but stops with:

checking for libglade-config... /opt/gnome/bin/libglade-config
checking for libglade... yes
checking for main in -lgal... no
configure: error: gal library not found. See the README and config.log
for more info.

Now I have checked to make sure gal and gal-devel are installed, and have
reinstalled them, but still wouldn't work. The config.log says:

configure:12660: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Werror -Wall -Wunused 
-I/opt/gnome/include/gdk-pixbuf-1.0 -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2
-I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include  
conftest.c -lpopt -lm  -lm -L/opt/gnome/lib -lgdk_pixbuf -L/usr/lib
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.2/../../../../i486-suse-linux/bin/ld:
cannot find -lesd
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 12926 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

Which looks like -lesd is what I now need, but if it is not in the gal or
gal-devel, then I where?

Thanks again.

John

P.S. - switched to the 1.7.7 source. This was not the answer to my
previous problem, as 1.7.7 would not configure either - failed with same
problem. I just figured, if I get something working... I'd reather it be
the latest version, RC2.
