Versions of GTKmm
=================
ubuntu1404-0NN.student.cs.uwaterloo has gtkmm 2.24.4 installed globally, with
gtkmm 3.18.1 installed under /u/cs_build/gtkmm, which means you need to put

      export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/u/cs_build/gtkmm/lib/pkgconfig/
      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u/cs_build/gtkmm/lib

in your .profile file to ensure the correct paths are searched when compiling
and linking.

ubuntu1604-000.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca has gtkmm 3.18.0 installed globally.

You can use dpkg to search for what version of gtkmm is installed:

% dpkg -l "*gtkmm*"

Known Glade Issue
=================
"I investigated the issue and the problem happens when you use the new gtk+ that I installed in the 
cs_build account. There's some version incompatibility, and the glade that's installed globally on 
Ubuntu 14.04 is too old to use the new gtk stuff I installed (it complains about a missing 
'sort-directories-first' key which newer gtk has).

If you unset the PKG_CONFIG_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables, glade should run. But I
know it's annoying unsetting and setting them back every time you use glade.

Alternatively, you should be able to start glade on ubuntu1604-000.student.cs, with those environment 
variables set.

I'll try and upgrade gtkmm later this week, and at the same time see if I can install a newer version 
of glade that's usable from ubuntu1404."
