Replying for the archives, as I want to clarify how the dependencies work. Actually, following the BLFS book, ScrollKeeper is not optional. It is a recommended dependency of GNOME Doc Utils which is required for GDM. There is even a note attached to the GDU instructions that says you *can* install GDU without ScrollKeeper but you will be missing required functionality. So, the BLFS staff expects ScrollKeeper to be installed when you begin the installation of GDM. Dependencies (required by another dependency) are not mentioned again for the sake of redundancy. Hopefully, this clarifies the issue of "on gdm itself it doesn't state it needs scrollkeeper on the book anyway but in configure it does". -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
