Min will not run in my Slacko 64-6.3.2

[mikeb]

Sounds like it wants an older or newer gtk.
The build from the min website wants newer gtk than one of the builds on here.

Suggestion...try a different build of min

I got it to run on lucid but that did require a gtk update.
... gtk 2400 ... but the min website build wanted newer than that.

The latest version needs GTK+3.....

The sfs I got from this thread of 1.7 was compiled to use gtk 2 so I assume its a build option though I used the 32 bit version I see no reason the 64 bit could not after all it will have exactly the same interface function calls.

I got GTK+3-3.8.2 from the Puppy package manager. I assumed the package manager would properly install it.

Is there some action I must take to turn it on?

@ orrin:-

Just out of curiosity, where does pFind show your gtk-3.0 to be installed? Is it in /usr/lib64, or /usr/lib? For Slacko 64 6.3.2, it should in be /usr/lib64; the Slackos don't use the sym-link to /usr/lib that the 'buntu-based Pups have.

I have a feeling you'll also need gdk-3.0, as well..... Y'know, just out of curiosity, have you tried any of my current Chrome packages recently? All the libs & stuff required by Chrome are within a sub-directory inside /chrome; all self-contained nowadays.....

I downloaded version 1.8.0 for testing
has somebody noticed that the min-1.8.0-amd64 package is using the /usr/lib path instead the /usr/lib64 ?

Perhaps we need a volunteer to make a consistent puppy friendly build.

I never did find out who built the sfs that I run on Lucid.
