Yes, it is a Solaris box. I tried your suggestion above, but
unfortunately, that just made it worse. Now it aborts with a
"BadMatch" error at startup and doesn't even bring up the Glade
application.

Our plan is to use Glade on a Linux box to develop our GUI, then 
copy the XML files over to Solaris, where our application is to be
developed. We'll use libglade on Solaris to display the GUI windows 
and our application source code will be in C++. 

The assumption is that the XML files will be portable, and that
we can call the GTK+ and libglade C library functions from C++.
Do you see any problem with this approach?

Thanks for your help.
