I don't know what package manager slackware uses (it had none when I last used it but that was a very long time ago). In Debian or Ubuntu, you can go into synaptic and see right away what version you have, but here's another way (I'm sure there must be better ways): Go into /usr/lib (or probably /usr/lib64 if you have a 64-bit system) and do something like:
find . -name 'libgnutls*' -print In my case, that showed me that I'm getting it out of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu. One of the files in there is libgnutls.a. So I did this: strings libgnutls.a | grep ^Version That showed several lines, but the interesting one was: Version: OpenPrivacy 2.12.14%s which agrees with what synaptic told me my version was. Do the same thing in /usr/local/lib (or /usr/local/lib64) and see if there's another one there. If you built 2.12.19 from source, that's probably where it is since /usr/local is normally the default prefix. Now, if you do have more than one version, maybe you can delete the older version (watch out for dependencies -- a package manager would help here). I don't know whether you can use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to tell configure where to look first, if you need to keep both versions. -- David _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
