I agree. And it was just recently that Gnumeric was moved from a GNOME2 installation prefix to /usr. There were some that were convinced it was wrong to make GNOME2 a requirement for a Gnumeric installation. Of course, it will work without GNOME, so it was probably the right thing to do technically. > The thing is, the command works as it is.

Well, I suppose we need to place a note before the installation commands (after building) or in the command explanations section to modify the command if they don't have ORBit installed. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 10:43:01 up 19 days, 22:20, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.09 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
