Re: unable to dawnload from freedesktop.org

[Heitzso <heitzso growthmodels com>]

If you google on the problem you'll find two different solutions.   Both
involve going in and editing three Makefiles.  The solution noted in
September no longer works.  The more recent email chain in the archives
does work.

(Hint to garnome maintainer -- it would make life much easier if you
released a trivial update that corrected this in the download tar. 
Worry about bigger changes later.  This is a silly bug that doesn't
deserve to see the light of day.)

Anyway -- your solution is to go to the October archives for this
email list and you'll find the updated URL that you'll need to edit
into the three Makefiles there.

Good luck.
