I'm pretty sure you can have only one or the other, not both; as such you want gtksourceview2 if you have both. So i can use SourceView if i have config pass "sourceview" or "gtksourceview2"? Can you explain the difference between "sourceview" and "gtksourceview2"?

gtksourceview2 is a newer version (2.x vs. 1.x), They're not 100% compatible (API changes) so you have to pick one when building Gtk2hs; if they were independent packages as with the C versions it would be possible to build both and pick one when building an application. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
