Done that, installed tons of .dev (and other) packages, but whatever I do, it will not get past the ./configure stage. The stage where things go wrong is: checking for gnome-config... /usr/bin/gnome-config checking for GNOME - version >= 1.2.0... yes checking for additional GNOME modules... vfs checking for oaf-config... /usr/bin/oaf-config checking for OAF - version >= 0.6.2... no When I run oaf, I get: $ /usr/bin/oaf-config --version So the configure script is obviousli wrong. Looking at the conftest.c program the ./configure script generated, it is obviously wrong: it declares: int major, minor, micro; but later uses: if ((liboaf_major_version != 0) || (liboaf_minor_version != 6) || (liboaf_micro_version != 5)) So it looks to mi like an error in the ./configure script (that script has nearly the same .c file in it) $ md5sum ./configure ../galeon-0.10.6.tar.gz 8fa8cc7ca45b3d090029834a449ffbe1 ./configure eda0f7dc904298dcdff09e871825eaf7 ../galeon-0.10.6.tar.gz Am I going mad? Below is the more complete ./configure log (from after it tests for the oaf version): checking for GNOME - version >= 1.2.0... yes checking for additional GNOME modules... vfs checking for oaf-config... /usr/bin/oaf-config checking for OAF - version >= 0.6.2... no *** Could not run OAF test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link.
