I downloaded a clean rpm from SuSE but still get the same "sed: can't 
read ./intl/po2tbl.sed.in: No such file or directory" and "sed: can't 
read ./intl/Makefile.in: No such file or directory" messages with the 
configure script for gnome-vfs.

Actually, I've been using tarballs from a mirror of ftp.gnome.org.  So 
is it still possible the configure script and the source tree don't match? 

I pulled all the CVS packages last night (including all the 
dependencies) and tried installing those, but I don't really understand 
the "autogen.sh".  For example, when I tried doing "autogen.sh 
--prefix=/opt/gnome --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/gnome" I get the following msg:

You should update your own `aclocal.m4' by adding the necessary
macro packages gettext.m4, lcmessage.m4 and progtest.m4 from

**Error**: aclocal failed. This may mean that you have not
installed all of the packages you need, or you may need to
set ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include "-I $prefix/share/aclocal"
for the prefix where you installed the packages whose
macros were not found

I get this msg. even after moving the contents of aclocal to 
/opt/gnome/share/aclocal and including this in my path. 

At this point I'm at a loss.  It doesn't seem to make much difference 
what I do, this damn thing just doesn't want to install.  And if it 
wasn't for the fact that I like the screenshots I've seen and want to 
see what it's like, I'd just give up.
