Hi!

I failed to compile/install GConf-0.8. There is a strange error I don't
quite understand:

/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /var/tmp/GConf-0.8-root/etc/gconf/schemas
mkdir /var/tmp/GConf-0.8-root/etc/gconf/schemas
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./desktop.schemas /var/tmp/GConf-0.8-root/etc/g=
conf/schemas/desktop.schemas
GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=3Dxml::/var/tmp/GConf-0.8-root/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defa=
ults ../gconf/gconftool-1 --makefile-install-rule ./desktop.schemas

** CRITICAL **: file oaf-activate.c: line 190 (oaf_activate_from_id): asser=
tion `ac' failed.

make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.4992 (%install)

It makes no difference If I try the old or new libxml(2).
I have installed the newest oaf (0.5.1-2mdk).
Hmm, if I interpret the error message correctly, the Makefile
searches for ./desktop.schemas, but this file is not empty:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         2246 Jan 21  2000 desktop.schemas

I tried some different source directory with no success.
Any ideas would be appreciated. From the code I got no idea
why he had problem with the xml-file (if he found it).
