	i'd love to see what experiences people are having building
gnome.

	I did a full install of XFree86, and put it in /usr/local/X11R6.

	I've now started building gnome, and have successfully, with
more effort than I thought necessary, however, built:

	esound, audiofile, glib, libxml, ORBit, gtk+, imlib.

	I'm now working on gnome-libs, and struggling with some
unresolved externals from libintl (either the prototypes are different
and the linker don't like that, or I'm getting in serious trouble for
trying to do things in /usr/local/XXXX)

	is this experience the norm?

	thanks!

	marc.
