That's fine, but how many more months will it be before GM 2 is available on most distributions? In the mean time, 1.9 is available only as source for SUSE. I finally sorted out the dependencies and was able to run configure on GM 1.9 and thought I had finally succeeded only to get the following error message when running make <quote> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/gnomemeeting-1.9.0> make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/aemau/gnomemeeting-1.9.0' Making all in help make[2]: Entering directory `/home/aemau/gnomemeeting-1.9.0/help' xsltproc -o gnomemeeting-C.omf --stringparam db2omf.basename gnomemeeting --stringparam db2omf.format 'docbook' --stringparam db2omf.dtd "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" --stringparam db2omf.lang C --stringparam db2omf.omf_dir "/opt/gnome/share/omf" --stringparam db2omf.help_dir "/opt/gnome/share/gnome/help" --stringparam db2omf.omf_in "`pwd`/./gnomemeeting.omf.in" `pkg-config --variable db2omf gnome-doc-utils` C/gnomemeeting.xml compilation error: file C/gnomemeeting.xml line 10 element article xsltParseStylesheetProcess : document is not a stylesheet make[2]: *** [gnomemeeting-C.omf] Error 5 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/aemau/gnomemeeting-1.9.0/help' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/aemau/gnomemeeting-1.9.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 <endquote> whereupon the process stops once more and I'm even more frustrated and confused.
