irv, do you have any docs on what is needed to distribute a EuGTK program? Does the end-user need to install the GTK libs, or can they be packaged with my program?

I would advise against packaging the GTK binaries with your own. You're better off advising the end user which packages to install using the relevant package manager (e.g. apt-get install gtk+-2.0).

If you create a Debian package or an RPM package then you can specify the Depends (deb) or Requires (rpm) fields for the required GTK packages.

Taking that a step further, you could create your own Debian or Yum repository to host your packages. Then advise end users to add your repo and install your app via apt-get or yum.

The best part about a custom repo is that your end users will get updates automatically when you push them (assuming they run updates).
