Hello,

I hope this problem wasn't posted here before.

Sylpheed-Claws is not my first GTK+ program, and i already have a GTK2
build from http://www.dropline.net/gtk/ installed on my box in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0, so I installed Sylpheed without
GTK. And now, when i run Sylpheed, i only get a message that "A required
.DLL file, LIBGLIB-2.0-0.DLL, was not found". It seems like Sylpheed
thinks GTK *should* be in the same dir as Sylpheed itself, so is there a
way to make it work with *that* GTK? GTK's path is entered in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GTK\2.0] as a string value, named "Path".
There's also a version string saved as "Version", storing my current GTK
version string, "2.2.1.2".

Quoting Sylpheed-Claws/win32 homepage:
Sylpheed follows the unix philosophy of using specialized tools for
specialized tasks, i.e. it uses external applications rather than
implementing a function itself (e.g. ROT13 encoding can be done using an
action script). Please have a look at "Extending Sylpheed" for further
details. 

I would recommend sylpheed to use *that* GTK build also, as it would be
shared system-wide, and all the GTK settings would also be shared. I am
currently using that build for X-Chat IRC client
(http://ursus.mif.vu.lt/xchat/).

As for now, is there a way to make Sylpheed see GTK in a current
installation folder, or should i reinstall Sylpheed with GTK?

any thoughts are appreciated
RQ
