this site : <A

I suggest that you get it from the "Packages" section.

>&#13;You need a recent gcc compiler to compile the project. You might want to use gcc
3.2 or newer.
You will also need some libraries in order to compile it. They are described in
the README of the LTTV package. These are GTK 2.0, GLIB 2.0, "popt" and Pango 1.0.
Install them if they are not on your system. Remember that if you use a package
manager from you favourite Linux distribution, you will need to specifically
install the librairies'development packages.
