Thanks, that's trivial and that fixed it! [It's sad that the msg states that one MUST install (sources) from CVS, when it really means what you said. Hopefully, that error-msg could get changed. But, I won't hold my breath.]
It's also sad that when I post to this list, I get an email saying that I'm spamming and that I'm not allowed to post, yet my post(s) are, in reality, getting thru. (SIGH.) Trying to communicate in Gnome is a bit 'back in the darker ages' in my view...you folks could benefit immensely if you had a 'forum'. [I've never liked email-lists, and I guess the present behavior I'm seeing is just another reason why.] Hopefully, this fix will be the last help I'll need. So, again, thanks for that, Zhang!
