If you are interested in using the suse 6 rpms off of the www.gnome.org
site, a few notes about compiling programs from scratch. I wanted to
compile xchat, guitar, and a few other selections. I read the gnome
and balsa lists quite a bit recently but ended up downloading and
rpm'ing all the devel libs also to get things to compile. I dont know
why this is but now I have a working system to build gnome aware
applications under SuSE 6. This took me awhile. I am using the
windowmaker which comes with the suse gnome stuff and its pretty cool
and fast.
If you are looking for something fun to try, visit the gnome website
and download all the 99.8 rpms. Be sure to follow the directions on
the web page as when I first did gnome 99.8 some things were seriously
broken such as png image loading.
I dont have a subjective or objective impression regarding gnome other
than I thinks its really cool and the applications seem well thought
out. Its nice to have suse 6 rpm files and I would like to thank
whoever made this possible. I also use kde 1.1 on occasion.
I believe that gnome 1 level should be released in a few so hopefully
we will see 1.0 level rpms soon.
The recent rpm farm for gnome is nice; thanks SuSE and everyone who had
a hand in contributing.
