Greetings,
I've been running redhat since 5.2, and the first thing I learned was to
always compile the source code, rather than installing the rpm. Now, I
didn't have any problems compiling with 5.2, but I've run into many a
problem with 6.1. What's in question here are the sources for Gnome and
Enlightenment. After about a week of struggling with the source, i
surrendered and installed the rpm, which seem ( to me ) to be running
slowly. I've got a dual PII 450 with 128 MB RAM and 32 MB of Video RAM, and
when I start up an X session, enlightenment hits 100% ( the little load bar
thingie ), and then stalls for about 10-20 seconds before it starts. I
don't know, maybe I'm being picky, but hey, you would be too if you spent 4
G's on a system that sputters. Anyway, my question is what needs to be done
to compile these two programs ( the many packages that make them up). When
I tried, it would fail in the configure script, or exit in the compilation.
I tried my damndest to meet all of the pre-requisits, and I had all required
packages, but I got hung up when looking for some header files. Am I
missing something. Can anyone that has successfully compiled Gnome and
Enlightenment on a Redhat 6.1 machine give me any pointers..please? Also,
is it recommended to compile XFree86 as well? I haven't tried 4.0 yet, but
I snooped around and didn't find any sources, Is 4.0 only offered by
binary? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mark A Basil
