2.0.1.4

It works and displays nicely. Rotates, zooms, creates thumbnails only when 
asked to, will display full screen, with or without the file list.  It is 
set to use GIMP Xpaint and XV as external editors (unlike MaPiVi that uses 
ImageMagick and jpegtran and netpbm, I think).  You can add five more 
external programs for editing with.

I went looking for precompiled gtk+-2.

Slackware 8.1 has gtk 1.2 only, but it also has gqview 1.0.2 (very old 
version PRECOMPILED).

Slackware 9.0 has gtk+2 2.2.1, 9.1 has 2.2.4, 10.1 has 2.6.1, but none of 
them have precompiled gqview.

If I installed glibc from Slackware 9, I could use its precompiled 
gtk.  Can I tell a program at runtime to use glibc 2.3.1 instead of 2.2.5? 
Rather than upgrading my whole glibc?  It is a large download for the 
larger package needed for compiling.

Let's see if the older Slackware 8.1 gqview is good enough.

It is not found in SW7.1.

Thanks, Mikkel!
