i think i found out what the problem is, after a small search on webpin, it turned out that the current libtool package is not compatible with gtk2-devel-2.10.11 in the GNOME:STABLE repo, because it stores the lib files in /usr/lib/ instead of 10.2's default /opt/gnome/lib. i was able to fix the missing "libgtk-x11-2.0.la" dependency problem by downgrading to gtk2-devel-2.10.6 (which is compatible) although i knew it'll probably screw up my gdm again once i restart, but that didn't fix the problem as it seems that all the upgraded packages from GNOME:STABLE did the same thing. i thought i'd get the factory libtool package, but this one is dependent on an even newer version of gtk2, which, as suspected, screwed up my gdm (AGAIN!) ok, here's what has to be done, either someone makes a compatible version of libtool for GNOME:STABLE, or make ALL gtk2 packages in this repo store their libs back into opt/gnome/. however i found this howto for AWN on openSUSE http://www.michaeldolan.com/581 it should work if it wasn't for the problem i just explained - anybody who is not using GNOME:STABLE will do fine, just remember that the svn source has changed and you'll have grab it with bazar now instead of svn. go to the official site for more information. good luck =) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
