Thanks for your help.

I tried to compile the package at http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org and the package located here http://archive.xfce.org.

Both give me the same GTK error.

The marc.info link is language from the planet Mars for me too.

Fedora 17 x86-64

Oh. I guess there isn't and rpm for your distro yet, then.

I did find these web pages (via Google):

http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/NUQmuuvBnfq0k6so1iCh

(Something about Fedora SCM commits, whatever that is, and "A file has been added to the lookaside cache for xfce4-weather-plugin:".)

http://marc.info/?l=fedora-extras-commits&m=136129121822052

(Which is all complete geek to me, but "Subject:    [xfce4-weather-plugin] Update to 0.8.3".)

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/xfce4-weather-plugin/xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.3.tar.bz2/755b33089c02afe88abb39253003a7f3/

Which has 0.8.3 and is a Fedora repo. But it's a compressed file, one of the things that one has to "install" (it's got "install" as one of its many files, I believe), so I don't know if that would help. Raphos, is that the same thing that you tried to install/build/? on your Fedora system?

I do hope that you folks can figure it out, because I really like the new weather applet - it's worth a bit of hassle, IMHO.

Best of luck,

Were we to assume that the OP has one of the above OS - and we might, since he or she did not feel like burdening us with the knowledge of which distro he/she is actually using, lol - then we could rightfully answer the question with "That is already the case."

So... lintek, would you like to tell us which distro you are asking about?

I don't know which distribution you are using...

I use Fedora 18 and the RPM for xfce4-weather-plugin version is yet still on 0.8.2.

You can try to compile the new version 0.8.3 (download and see INSTALL file) but I have problems with gtk (see here).

Maybe you'll have more luck !

But there is a possibility that you will not have to wait. For example, I found a PPA and all I had to do was add it to my sources list and my distro's Update Manager took care of the rest and I appear to have all newest Xfce components. The fact that you mentioned "RPMs" tells me that you aren't using the same OS that I'm using (Mint 14) or any other kind of Ubuntu-/Debian- based one and are, instead, using something like Mandrake/Mandriva or another one that uses the .rpm package format - so I guess the PPAs won't work on your OS. But perhaps there is something similar?
