I must say that it was rather difficult to try to understand how to use guile-gtk with this gnome-guile disturbance and the SPM oddities. A patch that makes guile-gtk compile outside of gnome-guile, and makes the examples compile on SMP machines comes as an attach. and here is a source rpm using the patch ftp://geek.mine.nu/pub/SRPMS/guile-gtk-20011121-9.src.rpm Now I shall concentrate on my own little guile-gtk project. =) Bo
