I wanted to compile xchat, guitar, and a few other selections. I read the gnome and balsa lists quite a bit recently but ended up downloading and rpm'ing all the devel libs also to get things to compile. I dont know why this is but now I have a working system to build gnome aware applications under SuSE 6. This took me awhile. I am using the windowmaker which comes with the suse gnome stuff and its pretty cool and fast. =20 If you are looking for something fun to try, visit the gnome website and download all the 99.8 rpms. Be sure to follow the directions on the web page as when I first did gnome 99.8 some things were seriously broken such as png image loading. I dont have a subjective or objective impression regarding gnome other than I thinks its really cool and the applications seem well thought out. Its nice to have suse 6 rpm files and I would like to thank whoever made this possible. I also use kde 1.1 on occasion. =20 I believe that gnome 1 level should be released in a few so hopefully we will see 1.0 level rpms soon. The recent rpm farm for gnome is nice; thanks SuSE and everyone who had a hand in contributing. --=20 Michael Perry mperry(a)basin.com ------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <= A HREF=3D"http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/http://www.suse.com/Suppo= rt/Doku/FAQ/> and the archive at ht= tp://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html> --===============3808831917352416216==-- From namffuak@skyenet.net Mon Mar 1 01:50:40 1999 From: namffuak@skyenet.net To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] Gnome and the SuSE rpm farm Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 17:50:40 +0000 Message-ID: <3.0.5.32.19990228175040.010509a0@pop.skyenet.net> In-Reply-To: <199902282236.OAA12766@mperry.basin.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============5776646420460780932==" --===============5776646420460780932== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable At 02:36 PM 2/28/99 -0800, you wrote: > > >If you are looking for something fun to try, visit the gnome website >and download all the 99.8 rpms.

If I do a startx, WindowMaker comes up just fine.
