Better to rms> check the version number of the library. Yes, agreed. Eli was wondering whether it was possible for library versions to be checked. One way is by looking at the corresponding #include file(s) that are installed, along with the library, for the version number. The #includes for the ungif library likely has version information similar to the Gtk library; the file gtkfeatures.h has the following: #define GTK_MAJOR_VERSION (1) #define GTK_MINOR_VERSION (2) #define GTK_MICRO_VERSION (8) #define GTK_BINARY_AGE (8) #define GTK_INTERFACE_AGE (3) #define GTK_CHECK_VERSION(major,minor,micro) \ (GTK_MAJOR_VERSION > (major) || \ (GTK_MAJOR_VERSION == (major) && GTK_MINOR_VERSION > (minor)) || \ (GTK_MAJOR_VERSION == (major) && GTK_MINOR_VERSION == (minor) && \ GTK_MICRO_VERSION >= (micro))) _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
