Re: LIttle problem when installing xapian-bindings-1.4.22

Oh Olly, you are so kind. Thank you so much.  I think you pinned out my problem. I have installed the xapian-core-1.4.22 at /usr/local/xapian-core-1.4.22 to avoid cluttering. I will try to do what you have  given me. if that does not work, I will try to remove the older xapian-core-1.4.18 library wherever it is if  I can locate it.  Then I will give the path for the new one. GTK is just one of the things I have to install to do design layout in VLSI graphic Layout Design, latest will better if I can manage to get the dependencies installed.  

I will update you Olly and I must thank you very much. Very much appreciated.

With my best regards 

 Mike
