Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:8 rob@…]:
 > Thats great, thank you so much - built it without cups which is fine for
 my requirements.  Doesnt seem as satisfying as fixing it though :) am i
 able to update to cups-headers 1.1.20 without relying on ports and then
 maybe retrying gtk2 with cups support?  may seem like a daft question but
 I'm still learning.

 No, MacPorts deliberately will not use software you install manually
 outside of MacPorts. I suggest you try to update the cups-headers port to
 version 1.1.20rc1 and see what happens. Instructions for editing portfiles
 can be found in the [http://guide.macports.org/ guide].

 > BTW after gtk2 installed a few more dependencies down the line tk failed
 but I put that in as a new ticket.  Are these fails mainly cos I'm still
 using panther do you think?

 That would be my first guess. Panther is very old and very different
 internally from Tiger, just as Tiger is very different from Leopard. As
 software gets updated to newer versions, support for older OSes is often
 dropped. Even if it's not an upstream problem but a MacPorts one, MacPorts
 maintainers almost always only test on a single computer with a single
 version of Mac OS X, and that is almost certainly no longer going to be
 Panther. Thus we don't know stuff is broken on Panther until someone files
 a bug.
