Re: Installing and starting 0.27.1 on Red Hat 9

[Karen <kas11 tampabay rr com>]

Allen,

On a similar setup, I needed to change the MASTER_SITES = to point to
http://pdx.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/releases in the Makefile
in each of ~/garnome-0.27.1/bootstrap/{render,xft,xrender}.  It is
possible that the files have moved yet again so Google for the
appropriate filenames and plug in the appropriate URLS as necessary.

I did manage to get 2.4 and most everything else running here other than
the mono-debugger...I'll get back to that someday when I have more
patience...or some kind soul sets me on the right track.  Hope this
helps.

Karen

who top posts cuz it seems the sensible thing to do
