I finally go it to work. I needed to update the libgtk and also get
libgtkxmhtml. That should really be mentioned. It doesn't come with gtk. At
least not with corel linux.
And I needed to download it seperately from the internet.

Also, another problem I had was, that the previous version of gtk that was
on my system remains, and the new version is installed with a version suffix
on the end of the file names.
IE.
    eugtk looks for libgtk.so,
     my system constains....
           libgtk.so
           libgtk.so.1
           libgtk.1.so.0
           libgtk-1.1.so.0.3.0
           libgtk-1.2.so.0
       (and those are just the aliases, and they are all registered in the
dpkg info)
           on my system, libgtk.so points to libgtk.1.so.1.2.0
When I tried to run eugtk even atfter installing the updated gtk, it was
still using the original gtk that didn't have the version suffix.
I wrote a little library to take care of this. But I don't know if it would
be standard for everyones system or if it only works on mine.
But it searches the dpkg info for a specific string and returns the path and
filename of the most recent version of the lib specified by the string.

It's attached if anyone wants to try it out.

BTW Irv Mullins... the library is great :)
