 I hesitate to mention this but it might be useful. Three different
 attempts at building gtk2 on Tiger/Developer2.5 with macports 1.6.0
 yielded a binary that would not run gtk apps; it simply reported "Bus
 Error" and died gracefully.

 The interesting thing is I downloaded the 1.7.0 Beta 1 source and the
 resultant gtk2 runs gtk apps fine on the same setup. Thumbs up for 1.7.0
 so far.

 (Failed 1.6.0 attempts were "with a bunch of other stuff already in
 place," cleaning out ports and starting again building only gtk2 and its
 dependencies, and then building each dependency first to avoid
 complications caused by perl5 and perl5.8 colliding).
