The new version of lamps compiles in gtk2 which is available on most Linux systems and cygwin. There is no need to install gtk1. However glamps is not (yet) updated to compile with gtk2. In this case or if you want to use an older version of lamps you need the old gtk1.2 library.

The first thing to do is to check if you have glib-1.2, glib-devel-1.2, gtk+-1.2 and gtk+-devel-1.2 installed on your machine. You can use commands such as rpm -qa | grep "glib-1.2" to find out. If any of these packages are missing you need to install an rpm file compatible with your versionof Linux. The first place to look is on your installation media. For your convenience some of the rpms for Fedora Core 6 and 7 are made available (see below). For other versions of Linux you can try to locate the files on http://rpmfind.net
