Re: [Sheflug] Updating problem

Thanks, problem solved but not quite by this method. As I had installed the
most recent versions of glib and gtk+ from tarballs, the rpm program
wouldn't find them. I sorted it by getting rpms of the last previous release
from the gnome site and installing these - it let me install Abiword but, of
course, I still have the tarballs unzipped and littering my system
somewhere. Is there any utility which would locate these files and let me
clear them off? (I have the same problem with another program (Lilypond) - I
can start it by typing its name into the terminal but I don't seem to be
able to locate the files, don't know what they are called, and it won't let
me update the installation.
