GTK2 on Gentoo (for Eclipse GTK2 Version)

rsk

Every time I try and "emerge" anything gtk, I only get the 1.2 version. I want to try the 2.0 version so I can Eclipse up and running with it. Any suggestions or reason why GTK2 isn't in emerge? (will it break gtk1.2)

Thanks!

Could it be the same problem as I pointed here?

It *could be* except for the problem of it having nothing to do with what I asked about.

I was asking how to emerge gtk2.0 and you pointed me to a thread where you had problems with OpenOffice which made no reference to gtk...

This is how I understood your question: "Why can't I get gtk2 if there is a gtk+-2.0.2-r1.ebuild in /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+/?"

So, I answered it the same way as to "Why I don't get openoffice even if there is an openoffice-641d.ebuild in /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice/?"

That is, because both are listed in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

Sorry if I misunderstood your question...

oh I'm sorry, it SEEMED so offbase of an answer (because I didn't know where you were coming from) that I thought you hadn't even read my question.

Thank you for the reply though, sorry for the arse remark.

No problem at all.

Now, just for the records... Was that your question?

I'm not telling.

My question was:

I am trying to run Eclipse (www.eclipse.org) with the GTK2.0 support, but when I try and "emerge search gtk" the only thing that comes up is GTK 1.2. I found this kind of surprising that 2.0 wasn't at least listed, so I was curious how to get GTK 2.0 from emerge.

BUT

I am using the motif version of Eclipse and it works a lot better, the GTK one was so unstable. So the question is kind of out of date
