<rant on> Folks, this will be another rant about general user experience.
I consider myself computer literate so compiling from source is never a problem as long as ./configure; make; make install works. If not, I consider the software crappy. I tried installing the latest sawfish bundle, in this order: librep 0.90.3 rep-gtk 0.90.0 sawfish 1.5.3 First I wanted to install to a custom location using --prefix but that didn't work, see the other recent thread I started. So I thought, okay, let's not give sawfish developers a hard time, let's just install to the default locations. So I did ./configure make make install on librep. All good. Then to rep-gtk: ./configure fails with checking for LIBREP... no configure: error: can not locate librep What?? Even if everything is installed to the default location configure can't find it. Why? Guys, I really love sawfish, but recently the quality of released code really is going down. If I can't install something with configure, make, make install, in even the *simplest* possible circumstances, then there is something wrong. </rant off> Cheers, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown
