Was just curious if the person asking earlier was able to finally install Gnome. I decided to try it just to see if it would work (Well yes, as a matter of fact I AM bored!). When it reached the point of installing gnomeprint, it failed with the message "-lungif - no such file or directory". libungif was shown as a dependancy and the install claimed it as "found" when in fact it was not installed on my system. Next stop: gmake[2] gave a failure when trying to compile parsef.c or some such. This was cured by de-installing and installing gmake! It just now finished (this sucker must download about 50 meg!) without any further errors. I don't do a lot of fiddling with my system, and I guess I'm just curious as to how it could have gotten into this state. As for the person installing gnome, watch the errors and do some back-checking. Apparently some rather peculiar conditions can cause it to fail. -- Walter Brameld in·tel·lec·tu·al n.
