Reply-to: Jeff Trefftzs <trefftzs@xxxxxxxx> From: Jeff Trefftzs <trefftzs@xxxxxxxx> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2002 00:01:55 -0800 Hi Carol! After I left irc I sat down in the relative quiet and did a step-by-step work through. Got into the RPMs and uninstalled automake. Uninstalled the rest of the stuff I had later versions of in tarballs. Compiled and installed new automake and libtool. Then, with only a little fiddling with some symlinks in cvs/gnome that now pointed to non-existent files (from the RPM -e foo, bar, baz), I got it through the configure and into the make. In the HOWTO you say (regarding the installation of various libraries, etc): * If is is not there, be sure to install glib 1.2.x . Next install any of the tools: autoconf, automate, libtool and gettext. If you install any new tools, be sure to remove the old ones. Make sure your manager knows about the changes, or if you installed tarballs be sure to ldconfig as root after each new install. I would change this to read more along the lines of: If you need to install new versions of tools that were installed as part of your Linux distribution, be sure to uninstall those that you plan to replace, using your distribution's package manager to do so. Then install any of the autoconf, automake, libtool, and gettext programs that you still need. Make sure your package manager knows about the changes (not necessary if you used it to uninstall the old ones). If you installed tarballs, be sure to run ldconfig as root after each new install. Well, it's past my bedtime. CVS version compiled and started up fine. Now I have a copy of gimp-1.2.3 to play with. Thanks for your howto and all the assistance on irc today. Talk more later. - -- - --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs <trefftzs@xxxxxxxx> http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzs Home Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/home.html Photo galleries ------- End of Forwarded Message
