CentOS 5 system with Gnome desktop. xfce 4.4.1 GUI installer reports vte (0.11.11) fail, rpm -q vte reports vte-0.14.0-2.el5 Have a work around for this?
Assuming you mean Xfce, not XFC... Likely you just need the vte-devel package or whatever installed.
What does "pkg-config --modversion vte" reports? "rpm-q vte" is somehow irrelevant here, what matters is "rpm -q vte-devel". The installer is a source installer, it means it compiles the software on your system. You need to have all the required "devel" packages, not just the runtime libraries.

After removing vte-devel, then reinstalling, the GUI accepted all the requirements and completed the Xfce install. So, something was mangled with with my libraries - Good thing your installer caught that. (Though now I wonder what other libs are corrupted on that box) Changed to resolved.
