Well there is another option. If you want to work on gnumeric you will
need to keep a cvs version for it anyways. Therefore what I have done is
to install garnome 0.17.1 as my base gnome2 installation and then
installed the vicious-build-scripts too. After creating a link from
garnome/INSTALL to garnome and setting the prefix for vbs to install in
garnome/INSTALL I pulled down the cvs versions for gnumeric, libgsf,
libgnomeprint (gnome-2-0), libgnomeprintui( gnome-2-0) since they
actively change and was up and running.
