Problems with 2.6.1 on Linux - command line error

[Girard Damien]

Hi,

The error is that runrev doesn't find GTK+ library (since Revolution
2.5, the native look and feel under linux is GTK+, but he doesn't work
at all on my computer with a lot of linux distrobution).

For remove this error message, you must make some symbolic link.

Runrev try to look at these file:
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so

Under Redhat linux, these files are in /usr/lib, under
Suse, /opt/gnome/lib.

Under Suse Linux 10, I have got these file, and I have done these
commands.
ln -sf /opt/gnome/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so
ln -sf /opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so
ln -sf /opt/gnome/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so

You can also set these environment variable.
  REV_GDK_PATH
  REV_GTK_PATH
  REV_GOBJECT_PATH

And after, Runrev doesn't work, because he find GTK+ library. :(

If runrev work after set these link (or variable), you have got luck,
else, please confirm my bug report here:
