One im not complaining just pointing out something incase somone else goes though all the trouble.
if you follow the current lfs you probably will have no luck getting gnome working. with gcc4 you need a whole slew of patchs and use newer packages from gnome. one example is control center. It refuses to compile without an update version of gnome menu and thats version 2.13.1 not the latest one. the one in the blfs book causes a 2 page listing of errors with pango and xft and freetype. its not pretty to look at. after all was said and done however i was able to get 99% compiled one package refused to compile no matter what i did but this was due to x86_64 shared issues but now gnome is so mixed with versions 2.14 2.13 2.10 and will not run. No errors no nothing just black screen for a moment then bam back to consol. So you may wanna hold out untill the next release of blfs before attempting. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
