This sounds like voodoo.

Building gnumeric is fairly trivial at this point _if_ you have the dependencies installed. For a system that has not been used for development there can be a rather significant number of build tools and development libraries required. > I like to think that I am very good at testing.

Unlikely, gnumeric is completely parallel installable (or at least it was, libspreadsheet needs versionsing for 1.5.3 to restore this). I haven't run a copy out of /usr in months. > I will document bugs with bug reports > more often when I am working with a more current version of Gnumeric. > I see a lot of error messages in the console log - a feature I like since it > shows that gnumeric is aware of things going wrong. Sounds good. Detailed problem reports are helpful. _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
