My pleasure :-) I copied the entry from another freedesktop modules myself after figuring out a bit more how the whole thing works. It allowed me to move on to the next problem: GTK+ ---- gtk+ configure complained about no libtiff. I modified its autogenargs to include --without-libtiff. I didn't even try installing the correct dev package on my system. (Should libtiff be added to the pre-requisites?) libdaemon --------- libdaemon configure complained about missing lynx. I installed it. (Should lynx be added to the pre-requisites?) avahi ----- avahi configure first complained about gdbm. Installing libgdbm-dev solved that. Then it complained about D-Bus bindings for Python. Installing the distro packages for this did no good, I assume that is since jhbuild pulls in its own python, right? Adding --disable-python-dbus allowed me to move on. Then it complained about gdbm bindings for Python. This is where I gave up. :-( I must admit I'm slightly disappointed in 2.15.4. I know it's a development release but I was hoping it'd be at least buildable. Any guidance on how to move on will be most appreciated. Elijah, any pointers on bug #344521?
