 snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
 GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs 
 will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now support
 for GTK 2.0.

 Information on how to install can be found in the file 
 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
 many systems:
 
-./configure --with-gtk
-make
-su <type root password>
-make install
-ldconfig
-exit
+    mkdir gtk
+    cd gtk
+    ../configure --with-gtk
