Yeah that went great and was easy.

I think FC2 actually comes with gtk 2.0 or greater (it comes with the
gimp 2.0 I think, which means its GTK has to be greater than 2.0) so I
don't think you had to deal with this issue.

I totally agree, except that the gtk and gtk devel on the planet are too
old for jack_fst and so if I want to use it I need to upgrade from
source or external rpm, and at that point I get a little worried cuz I
don't want to break my planet!

Is everyone else who has succesfully installed fst and jack_fst running
under FC2?
