I tested gnome in that way and got many errors -especially startup errors and some of the panels, when I add, thy display a message prompting that there was an error and me want to delete the component or not :(. I was not able to apply any gnome-theme or gnome-icon-theme even though the packages were installed.
So, after dwelling into the gnome packages in the repo, I thought I could test from source. I downloaded all the sources. I dont wanted to go with garnome or jhbuild scripts. Currently am stuck with two problems, 1) Repos dont have *docbook-xsl* packages whereas docbook-dtdt is present and thus am not able to compile *gtk2-doc* package. But, this package is already in the repo.I am not aware how the docbook-xsl package was deselcted becoz, there is no option in configure script too. 2) While compiling *pango*, the configure fails by telling that CAIRO does not have any backend like freetype, W32 etc.,. As far as smart, I have searched and installed cairo, cairo-devel, freetype,freetype-devel, freetype1, freetype1-devel Am following the document available here<http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Compiling_GNOME_2.6> Kaneri, I would be happy if you could give out your steps you followed to compile so that I can also test here. I think we need to still tweak gnome packages or If you think I had done some mistake in installing packages from repo, it would be nice if you could give me the steps on what should be installed in sequence.( I doubt I have done right, since smart installs dependencies too if not installed :D) On 1/18/07, Kaneri Warren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Chaks, There are new packages in the repo's now. Particularly gnome-base. That should install everything you need for gnome except the gnome audio package. It hasn't been built yet. Install it, then from the kdm screen choose gnome as your desktop and then login. Once into the desktop you will have to add the main menu icon to the applet bar. It helps if you remove all the gnome/gconf settings before logging in. At least it did for me. I would love help getting it set up thouugh, I am not a gnome user and would appreciate any help you could give with getting it running properly.
