I notice the toplevel Makefile.am contains the following: Applicationsdir = $(gnomedatadir)/applications applications_in_files = dia.desktop.in Applications_DATA = $(applications_in_files:.desktop.in=.desktop) Perhaps the uncapitalized "applications" is causing the trouble. Try editing either Makefile.in or dia.spec so they agree on it, and let us know what happens. -Lars -- Lars Clausen (http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause)| HÃrdgrim of Numenor "I do not agree with a word that you say, but I |---------------------------- will defend to the death your right to say it." | Where are we going, and --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire | what's with the handbasket? _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia
