Hi Roland,

As you have found, xtrkcad was removed from SBo because an important
dependency (libgtkhtml) became obsolete and was removed from Slackware
a long time ago [*].  However, I kept a copy of the xtrkcad
SlackBuild, and also I modified Pat's libgtkhtml SlackBuild to conform
to SBo standards.  You can get them from my Github repo:

libgtkhtml:

I hope they work for you.  It's a big surprise that someone cares
about xtrkcad -- maybe I should submit an update for jmri too...

Regards

[*] There was some discussion, a long time ago, about rewriting
xtrkcad to use something else (gtkhtml3 or webkit) but apparently that
still hasn't happened.
