If you are interested in using the suse 6 rpms off of the www.gnome.org site, a few notes about compiling programs from scratch. 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. 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. 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. -- Michael Perry mperry@basin.com ------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
