53 Try :
54 "pkg-config gnome-icon-theme --modversion"
55
56 if that reports a wrong number then you may have an old pkgconfig file
57 lying around making it go nuts.

59 For some odd reason i notice the gnome-icon-theme package-config files
60 not being in their standard /usr/lib/pkgconfig but in
61 /usr/share/pkgconfig with about 2 other files ( gtk-doc ,
62 icon-naming-utils ) and I wonder why. But cat any flles matching
63 "gnome-icon-theme.pc" in both those dirs and if you have more than
64 one, then that could be your problem, and deleting the older one
65 -should- do the trick.
