Hello, Bug Day, deep fried grasshoppers??? Don't spare the chocolate sauce! <grin> Seriously. I started using Linux about 6 mo. ago. Loaded SuSE 8.2, somehow didn't get gnome loaded back then. I've tried to get the gnome desktop running from my installation CDs over the past few days, had no success, appears some updates/changes I've done allong the way fouled something up. So, I thought I'd try and do it the right way and compile Gnome from source. The slight hitch is, I've never compiled C programs before. I gather the compiler and other necessary tools are standard on this system. I currently work with scripting stuff, PHP, Javascript, and ( the boss made me do it ) VBscript. Long ago I did a bunch of assembler level progamming. ( Anyone remember Z80 and RCA 1802, CPUs? Also a number of Intel microcontroller chips. ) Does anyone know of a website with instructions for compiling Gnome for Linux or have any suggestions? Is it striaght forward enough to do just from a list of instructions or do I need to do some more indepth study and preperation for such jobs? I didn't see anything very specific about installation on the www.gnome.org website. Did I miss something? I did download the Gnome 2.4.1 *tar.bz source code files. Thanks Patrick(Alaska) Currently running KDE 3.1 desktop on SuSE Linux 8.2 on a Dell computer, Pentium IV w/ much RAM and diskspace. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
