Last time when I tried installing GNOME into other prefix than /usr, I could build it, but at runtime it missed lot of functionality. Icons were missing, lot of env vars were needed to be set (and I hate setting them), namely python modules path, xdg env vars (don't know the right name), PATH, man path, info path and such ... With all of these, it still wasn't working. I can recommend looking at jhbuild or ostree and see if you can use them to install gnome into other prefix than /usr. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
