CClive looks like an interesting alternative possibility. I should probably uninstall Lua and the related packages as well if possible, then move on without it. I guess gnome built without Lua can be complemented later with cclive. Why is Lua changing anyways? Guess I need to ask that on the Lua mailing list. Thank you for the tip Laura. I'm surprised that I didn't see something distributed with Lua mentioning the issue. Lua wasn't listed as a dependency for gnome, so I'm guessing that going without it won't have a significant impact on gnome functionality wise. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
