There were three issues with compiling /installing Gaim 2.0beta6 on Solaris SPARC without root access. First problem was well-documented in this forum, dealing with xmppconsole. Contrary to the post in the forum, I still have to manually comment out xmppconsole in the section "plugin_LTLIBRARIES" in the Makefile in ./gtk/plugins directory. Second problem, the problem of linking eggtrayicons, was due to the fact that the configure file couldn't find my X11 library. I had to manually modify the Makefile in ./gtk by adding "-lX11" in section "gaim$(EXEEXT):" Third problem is the problem of the fact that gconf in gaim seems to ignore my "--prefix" flag in the ./configure command and trying to write gconf.xml file in the /etc/goncf directory during the installation: Could not make directory "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/xmpp": Permission denied Failed to write "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/xmpp/%gconf.xml": Failed to open This problem occurs when I type "make install." The error message was: "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/xmpp/%gconf.xm l.new": No such file or directory I have no solution for this problem. I ignored the command but the end result was gaim segfault on me when i try to run it So, Solaris Experts, please look at it when u have a chance and let me know if I can provide any more information. HarvCould not make directory "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/xmpp": Permission denied Failed to write "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/xmpp/%gconf.xml": Failed to open "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/desktop/gnome/url-handlers /xmpp/%gconf.xml.new": No such file or directory ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
