FWIW, everything from gnome-2 which I used to build *and* which required GConf2 was happy with the GConf-3.2 version. The book is using GConf-3.2.5 which gave me a pkgconfig file for gconf-2.0. For gnome-icon-theme, I haven't got that far in my current build. BUT, from gnome-icon-theme-3.2.1.2 I got gnome-icon-theme.pc. So, I suggest, respectfully, that you might be looking in the wrong place! As to whether anyone *needs* this 'almost-gnome' package (i.e. it needs gnome packages, but is not part of gnome), no idea. My use of mutt is well known, I can't imagine the horrors of going back to a graphical mail client (I once used netscape!). Maybe there is an even-newer version for gnome-3 ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
