Well i surprised to see here on the list, that people are building the cvs gnome. If this is the case,**HOW**,please did you overcome the configuration,compiling etc of gtk+ (any version). It just,will not work here at all. None of the examples compile,no apps downloaded to build,will compile. I am now back to ver 1.0.6 stock rpm,that comes with 5.3. But have tried other versions,and still get same errors. (dont ask me for all these,i`d have to tarball em). I want to build Gnome,help me out please.

I dunno. What did you do? Compilation was painless here. Really, I'm not saying this be funny, recent CVS, ( except for the dagon break down two weeks ago, and the main hardware RAID problem this week, ) has been o.k. MOST of the time. You might want to try the Gnome faq to make sure there's nothing obvious you missed, and also watch the mailing list--for frequently posted errors/issues with compilation and performance. Remember if you have problems to post --be it here or somewhere else--say what you tried and what seemed to go wrong, so you might get the helpful feedback you need to get things up and running. If it seems too long, then start one app at a time. Since you are probably building things like this: audiofile, esd, glib, gtk+, imlib, gtk-engines, ORBit, gnome-libs, gnome-core, gnome-objc, then start with the first app that gave you problems, and then consult further down the line, as you get each compiled. That will keep you from swamping _either_ list. One thing to do is to make sure you have all dependencies satisfied and to remember that there are deps outside of the gnome package that you need to build gnome--like certain VERSIONS of gettext, autoconf, etc. Also make note that if you build CVS, everything in the dependency below what you are building should be checked out AGAIN and rebuilt. If you like I can give you a brief rundown of the basics of what I did to get CVS gnome and co running on this machine.
