I sympathize with you. I tried to get Gnome working on an iMac and a G4 Macintosh, with SuSE Linux. Both were failures.
I didn't have any success with KDE either. I think this is the main reason people still use Windows. It is just to hard to get GUI working on Linux. On the up side, my new Dell with Windows/XP has been working for months without a single crash. I am running MacOS X on the G4 now, but I am about to give up on it. The Dell is actually working better for me. Also some of the software I use is not available for the Mac. It isn't available for Linux either of course. I was using Virtual PC, but that was much to slow for me. For some reason Visual C is very slow on VPC. -----Original Message----- From: Kenneth Illingsworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 5:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Gnome Thanks. I believe that I made it through about half of those, and then gave up. I was just surprised that GNOME wasn't somehow more 'self-contained' like the MySQL or Webmin rpm's were. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/04/03 06:07PM >>> On Tue, 2003-03-04 at 18:08, Post, Mark K wrote: > Welcome to RPM. > > You could try this: > cd /to/directory/with/RPMs > rpm -Uvh --test gnome-* up2date is your friend, or apt 8) If I remember rightly the basic order is glib gtk+ imlib ORBit audiofile libxml gnome-libs gdk-pixbuf libghttp libglade libgtop gnome-print control-center gnome-core but thats offhand
