Deb users, I want to gnumeric installed on top of debian potato. (Don't need anything else from gnome right now). Trouble is that the stable version is too far out of date, and the testing version won't install (needed libgal4 package unavailable). The unstable version installs but program call yields only a seg fault.
So I'm trying to build a deb from sources. Here's the error that stops the show: missing gnomeConf.sh that should have been created by an installation of gnome-libs. Trouble is apt-get can't find gnome-libs to install. Has anyone the list run into similar barriers? For example does libgal6 (I think) substitute for libgal4 for gnumeric .60 (testing)? Is there an equivalent to gnome-libs for gnumeric .70 (unstable)? Funny how freedom works, eh? Lots of times the price is simply irritation, but sometimes it's a lot more... Mark Copper
