How to install a new version of Gtk without overwriting the current version?

1

There is a similar question without answer : How do I install a newer version of GTK in Ubuntu without replacing the current one?

I'm running a Fedora 10 - Gnome - Gtk 2.0.

Wireshark needs Gtk+ > 2.4 to be compilated so I choose to install Gtk+2.24.

I do not really understand the influence of the option --disable-modules?

Can you confirm that this will only install the new libraries and my platform will not use them?

Why don't you want to just update Gtk+ to version 2.24? – jankes – 2011-11-16T08:28:37.127

@jankes I want the minimum impact on my devel platform. This platform stands as an installation target. – chepseskaf – 2011-11-16T08:39:58.590

2I see. If it's just for one app, then you can try to only build the 2.24 version, without installing (i.e. make without make install) or configure it to be installed in a different $PREFIX (path). You'd then have to point wireshark to the path the custom Gtk+. See ./configure --help for each sources. – jankes – 2011-11-16T09:15:11.290
