 The current problem could have been generated by a bias of myself trying to
 compile many programs at a time.
 
 libgtk-x11-2.0.la was completely broken and resintalling libglade and or
 gtk2 did not help, even after 'make clean clean-depends' on both (I don't
 have this file anymore).
 
 BEYOND (or due to?) the incorrect .la file generation, I've faced two more
 problems: gtk2+-2.24.8 was not copying (from the 'work' dir)
 libgtk-x11-2.0.a into /usr/pkg/lib nor linking libgtk-x11-2.0.so there.
 
 I discovered that by overwriting libgtk-x11-2.0.la with an adapted version
 from gtk2+-2.24.6.tgz I downloaded and trying to compile gtk-dependent
 packages (libglade, emacs, gmplayer, etc.).
 With a proper .la file, the packages complained that there was no
 libgtk-x11-2.0.
 I've checked that both libgtk-x11-2.0.a and libgtk-x11-2.0.so were at
 gtk2/work dir and after linking the .so and copying the .la file to
 /usr/pkg/lib everything worked smoothly.
 
 To not live with this mess I updated pkgsrc through CVS, which provided me
 gtk2+-2.24.9, that built fine, with no errors to gtk2-dependent packages.
 
 I consider this bug 'dead' or 'closed' as I won't be able (or willing) to
 reproduce it and as it is already fixed by a newer version of gtk2.
 
 Thanks.
