To get the gqview from Slackware 8.1 to work,
copy gqview to /usr/bin and README to /usr/share/gqview

or install the package then delete everything it put into locale doc 
(except the README), share (same README).


Extract, copy, and ldconfig four shared libraries from gtkglib from 
Slackware 7.1 gdk gtk gmodule and glib.  .so (no .a or .la)

install the gdkpixbf packages from Slackware 7.1 and then delete 
files that went into /usr/share /usr/doc/ /usr/include (needed only for 
compiling), anything /usr/lib/*.a or .la.  I think you need one so library 
and a config in /usr/bin.

I will try to make a package of required parts from all three of these 
packages.

It finally loaded.  I have not figured out how to make it work without a 
mouse.
