Thanks for the tip. gnutrition is a rather outdated program but the only one I could find in opensource... frankly, it should b dropped from sourceforge as there is only spam in the mailing list and no-one seems to be maintaining the files or moderating the lists :(( I changed gnomej-config to pkg-config in the configure script and it configured ok. BUT "make" stops with a very curious error: "Makefile", line 280: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue *** Error code 1 I checked the Web for an explanation and cure without success - the code: 278. mkdir $(distdir)/=build 279. mkdir $(distdir)/=inst 280. dc_install_base=`cd $(distdir)/=inst && pwd`; \ 281 cd $(distdir)/=build \ appears in other Makefiles. Also, I do not understand what 'operator' is missing ... Once again, any help or suggestions would be welcome.
