Call me crazy but I have Gnomeified this Debian 1.3 (libc) system with the 0.20 source. Here's what I recall as to pitfalls. (I would suggest you try this if you have a system you don't mind *experimenting* with!) I had no luck with imlib until I built gtk 1.0.4. I had to upgrade autoconf; used the latest Gnu source for this. Used libungif; libgif wouldn't compile for me. I have yet to try the media package. I ran into a couple of bad relative pathnames for headers; had to correct these,and in one case convert to an absolute pathname. Not sure why. I installed guile and gettext from GNU source. The admin package would not compile until I got rid of the gxsnmp module. The utils package would not build until I got rid of the gdiskfree module. Result: On the whole stuff works! There are buglets, and some apps/applets refuse to run, but hey, it's 0.20, right? Actually I haven't really tested everything. The terminal proggie seems a little buggy. gPostit core dumps. On the whole I find though that's it's a nice addition to my desktop. I like where we're going with this thing!
