Hello Ralph. Let us know how it goes, very interested in having Ximian (Evolution specially) on SuSE7.2 and newer releases, don't you think so? Oxiel. El Sáb 01 Sep 2001 02:56, escribiste:

Earlier this week I reported on my problems getting Ximian Gnome to properly install on a SuSE 7.1 or 7.2 system. Others on this list have had similar poor results with the install and additionally I had some email exchange with Ximian.

FYI on Tuesday of this week the Ximian site was different from the site on Monday and the Tuesday site indicated that SuSE 7.1 and 7.2 where unsupported. As of Thursday the Ximian site looked similar to Monday's site and SuSE 7.1 and 7.2 are again shown as supported.

Charles A Edwards (SuSE List) had suggested removing the Ximian GDM package and re-installing from the Ximian site. I removed GDM and Glib, then used the Ximian downloader to re-install Ximian Gnome. Did this yesterday and Ximian choose to reinstall 5 packages on my 7.1 computer. Afterwards using KDM to select sessions would still result in KDE2 being loaded when Gnome was selected.

I removed "Gnome" from the KDM login and replaced it with "Gnome-session". Now Ximian Gnome loads through the KDM login when gnome-session is selected. IMO the Ximian gnome user desktop is more visually appealing than the Gnome 1.4 that could be downloaded from SuSE for 7.1. Need to play with it some to find out what the advantages/disadvantages are. The really good news is that Evolution 0.11 which was working on this box before the addition of gnome is still working.

This weekend I will try the same method to upgrade the 7.2 computer.
