I'm having trouble building with Mandrake 8.2 Aren't we all? Mandrake 8.2 appears to have a badly broken default development environment. The necessary tweaks to make your system build Rosegarden correctly are involved and lengthy and probably best left to Mandrake themselves to explain. All in all if it doesn't work out of the box for you then it's probably best if you just forgot about Mandrake 8.2 altogether and try either 8.1 or a later version. / Larry
