Replying to all who request notes offlist.
Please don't do that. I too am interested. When I am looking for information, I look in the archive to see if someone has already posted. This kind of information seems on topic to me and would be helpful now and in the future for someone searching the archive.

OK, but I kept the notes in HTML format. Let's see if it copies and pastes in readable format: The Gnome 2.6 Update Project Current system: * SuSE 9.0 Pro Install Hints at: * http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/rninstallation.html * http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/ Download directories: * http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/platform/2.8/2.8.0/sources/ * http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.8/2.8.0/sources/ * http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/bindings/2.8/2.8.0/sources/ Supplemental Libraries: * pkg-config - http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/releases/pkgconfig-0.15.0.tar.... * Xf2 - http://fontconfig.org/ * fontconfig - http://fontconfig.org/ Installation Steps: Date Activity Notes 7-19-04 Finished downloading all source at ftp.gnome.org Dialup is slow. wget is a godsend. 7-19-04 Created this document 7-19-04 Downloaded pkg-config and xft2 7-19-04 Discovered that pkg-config and freetype were compiled, rpm'd and installed during my gimp2 install. 7-19-04 Found undocumented dependency, desktop-file-utils at freedesktop.org 7-19-04 Skipped dependency gnome-icon-theme. Couldn't find it anywhere, and references look like it is deprecated and replaced with gtkicontheme 7-19-04 Compile error on gnome-appets. A search of the web showed Suse has a problem putting glibconfig.h in the /opt/gnome/include directory, which gets picked up before the proper one. Moved it to a backup directory and the compile completed. 7-19-04 Can't find required meta-gnome-core. Posted a note to gnome support. 7-19-04 Can't find gnome-control-center. Compiled control-center assuming that is what they meant. 7-19-04 Found dependancy for gnome-icon-theme. Rechecked ftp.gnome.org and found it in the source directory. 7-19-04 gnome-icon-theme fails. It's looking for hicolor at http://freedesktop.org/Software/icon-theme/releases 7-19-04 Downloaded v. 0.5 of icon-theme, compiled and installed. gnome-icon-theme then installed properly. 7-19-04 Can't find gnome-doc-utils. Skipping it until it rears its head. 7-20-04 procman wouldn't configure. Errored on missing gnomeConf.sh. Stated it was in gnome-libs install, which is not in the download or install list. Downloaded gnome-libs v. 1.4.2. gnome-libs appears to be old. It says that the system doens't support dynamic linking and references CYGWIN. Skipping procman for now. Found the following advice on google search: unset LANG env var "export -n LANG=" Don't believe that had any effect. copied sed file into intl directory from glib to suppress error. I hope this is a correct patch. configure now continues Now fails on libgtop. Needs original libgtop apparently. libgtop2 is installed. Downloaded libgtop-1.0.13 Now fails on libgal libgal2 is installed Downloaded gal 0.24 from gnu. gal 0.24 requires libxml, not libxml2 downloaded libxml 1.8.17 from xmlsoft.org now gal requires gnomeprint 1 downloaded gnomeprint 1.116.3 from ftp.gnome.org configure warning: this version is not stable this version is really gnomeprint2 downloaded libgnomeprint 1..115.0 another v2 devel version ok, guessing here downloaded libgnomeprint-1.105.0 won't configure downloaded gnomepring 1.110 same problem giving up on procman for now NOTE: gconf-editor now compiles downloaded http://freshmeat.net/redir/docbook-utils/28776/url_tgz/docbook-utils-0.6.14.... removed docbook-utils 6.6 installed new docbook-utils --prefix=/usr had to copy /usr/share/sgml/openjade/sml.dcl to /usr/share/sgml gstreamer now compiles and installs! 7-20-04 gstream fails to compile. skipping for now. 7-20-04 ephiphany fails on mozilla-gtkmozembed requirement. Downloading latest mozilla to get code. 7-20-04 Requirement dbus not on gnome.org. Found and loaded from freedesktop.org 7-20-04 Requirement hal not on gnome.org.
