Not yet. I tried installing free rock gnome. Unfortunately free rock gnome in its current version does not include two gnopernicus dependencies libxml-2.0 and libxml-dev. You either get them from elsewhere or no gnopernicus. Later I tried with jhbuild from the gnome project. Several cvs failures and no closer to a talking gnome. Next I wipe system completely and reinstall slackware and go with the other script to get stable tar balls down and try to build gnome that way. That's why I got a three day weekend, but then again lots of other worse ways re available to spend it so I'll stay with the game and find out if it can be done.
