The Building page is out of date.  You don't need SVN gtk-sharp, and
you do need much higher than 0.28 mono (more like 1.1.10 I think).  If
you are on Ubuntu, I would suggest doing a "sudo apt-get build-dep
f-spot" to get the needed packages. 

Hmm..  With ubtunu 5.10 "sudo apt-get build-dep f-spot" says:

    E: Unable to find a source package for f-spot

I have the binary version of f-spot (0.1.3) installed, so I think I have all the repositories configured correctly.

I went ahead and tried to configure f-spot with all of the packages from ubuntu installed that I could find.   I get this error:

-----
Requested 'gtkhtml-sharp-2.0 >= 2.7' but version of Gtkhtml is 2.3.92

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

I'm assuming Gtkhtml is part of Mono?   Would building my own newer version of mono get around this?

I'm doing this on my work laptop, so I'd rather avoid using pre-releases of Ubuntu...  I need the overall system to be pretty stable...

Thanks!

 I'm not sure about the
availability/versions of packages on Breezy, but on Dapper that will
get you what you need.  If/when you do find what works for you, please
update the Building page. ;)

I've been keeping a list of all the packages I had to install beyond the standard build-essential stuff...  If (when?) I get it working, I can supply that list to someone who wants to update the site...  Or update it myself if you guys don't mind a relative new-comer updating your site...  :-)
