GDM install error
Hey, I was actually installing without scrollkeeper and was using --disable-scrollkeeper which allowed configure to run through and the error was the same on the book version of 2.18.3 and 2.18.4 so seems even tho scrollkeeper is optional on some stages it really isn't on gdm even though you can disable it and on gdm itself it doesn't state it needs scrollkeeper on the book anyway but in configure it does, guess i'll go give it a try with scrollkeeper installed Cheers, Gary -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Actually, following the BLFS book, ScrollKeeper is not optional. It is a recommended dependency of GNOME Doc Utils which is required for GDM. There is even a note attached to the GDU instructions that says you *can* install GDU without ScrollKeeper but you will be missing required functionality. So, the BLFS staff expects ScrollKeeper to be installed when you begin the installation of GDM. Dependencies (required by another dependency) are not mentioned again for the sake of redundancy. Hopefully, this clarifies the issue of on gdm itself it doesn't state it needs scrollkeeper on the book anyway but in configure it does. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: GDM install error
right i have just ran through and installed scrollkeeper as required and still getting the same error im using 2.18.4 now so i need more guidance as to what to do next Hey, I was actually installing without scrollkeeper and was using --disable-scrollkeeper which allowed configure to run through and the error was the same on the book version of 2.18.3 and 2.18.4 so seems even tho scrollkeeper is optional on some stages it really isn't on gdm even though you can disable it and on gdm itself it doesn't state it needs scrollkeeper on the book anyway but in configure it does, guess i'll go give it a try with scrollkeeper installed Cheers, Gary -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Did you log the build ? e.g.
make 21 | tee buildlog
make install 21 | tee instlog
If you did, search through the log (from the *build*) to find
reference(s) to that file - 'less' should be adequate for this ('/'
to search forward) - or search in your editor of choice.
At the moment, we know that the file is normally created during the
build. Scrollkeeper appears not to need to have 'ldconfig' run
manually because it runs 'ldconfig -n /usr/lib' during its install.
So, I can't sensibly suggest anything without an indication of what
happened to the file.
