Yes, IIRC, gEDA 1.10 or thereabouts was released for gtk3 or 4 and my 
Slackware only had gtk2 at that time. Of course, the build failed, but I 
was interested in some of the new features, so I wanted to use the new 
version. I wrote a thread about it and it was decided to release 1.10.1 
(or .2?) so it would build with gtk2. It did and all was well again. 
However, this Slackware64 15.0 I am now using has both gtk2 +, so the 
issue is now moot for me. Actually, I just verified that and if anyone 
is interested, this Slackware64 15.0 has gtk 1.2.10, gtk2 2.24.33, gtk3 
3.24.31, and gtk4 4.4.1. So, I think I am covered. There was some 
discussion about adding a build switch to force the gtk version, but I 
don't know how that came out. To me, it still sounds like a good thing 
to do.

BTW: Just for the record, I, like many others, would be sad to see gEDA 
go. I may not be creating many new products with it any more, but I 
still use it now and then for maintenance. I once used gschem to draw 
mechanical drawings too, but since I found the QCAD Community Edition, I 
switched to the better tool for that. I hope gEDA continues to live on. 
It is a great electronic development tool as far as I am concerned.
