Gnome2 build problem SOLVED! Thanks Joe!

All - I'd like to thank Joe Marcus Clarke for his assistance in getting past the fact that a repeated error building gconf-editor was keeping me from getting to Gnome2. The culprit was yet another outdated /usr/X11R6/include directory (gdk-pixbuf, to be precise). Thank you Joe. I hope I have

Re: there must be a better way

I'd like to add to this. I used Windows exclusively (with some sidetrips since I was married to a rabid Mac user) from about 1994 to 1999, when I launched into Slackware Linux (later other distros but I have since returned to Slackware). I first tried FreeBSD around late 2000 or so, and have n

gnome2 and gconf-editor problem (was: 'epic quest')

Hi, all- Thanks to Joe Clarke's help I was able to get -much- closer to getting Gnome 2 all nice and ... done. Installed. Learned a lot about examining output for clues in doing so, but this latest (last?) Gnome 2 make install error is stumping me. Is this another example of old files left in

repost of gconf-editor / gnome2 question

All - I'm still unable to get Gnome2 to build in 4.6 STABLE. I posted this error before but got no response ... am I the only one who has seen this or am I asking a dopey question? I tried building with 'portinstall -R gnome2' which helped to upgrade a few other things, but the build is stil

RE: free?

try the not-quite-linux-specific www.linuxcd.org they seem anyway to be selling FreeBSD 5.0 for about $6 US. i can't vouch for them myself, but my dad bought a Knoppix CD from them ... HTH, glenn becker On Mon, 16 Jun 2003, Valerie Andrewlevich wrote: > Don't have the juice. > > -O
