Re: scigraphica broken on RedHat 9

As far as I know there is gtkextra-2 in cvs, this should work with gtk2, and 
if I understood Adrian correctly, libscigraphica in cvs should also be gtk2 
compatible, but this is acording to Adrian not in a useable status yet, and I 
couldn't test it because of the old automake/autoconf system in cvs (as I 
found at google, I would have to downgrad to autoconf-2.13 and automake-1.4).
If you like, you can try it!
An other possible way would be to install another python with pygtk for 
gtk-1.2 in /usr/local or somewhere else, so that you can leave your original 
installation as it was before, and then link sg to the new python-path e.g. 
./configure --with-python-prefix=/usr/local (maybe also 
--with-python-script-prefix=/usr/local/bin or so).
In this configuration your RedHat-scripts should not get confused because of 
the original python-installation in /usr (having pygtk for gtk-2) and sg 
should also work using python and pygtk for gtk-1.2 in /usr/local.
Hope the best for you!!!

Regards Jan
