Re: Grandr and libs problems

[Joe McDevitt <jmcdevitt charter net>]

I have the same problem and havn't found a solution, including
those mentioned in this thread and
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/garnome-list/2003-July/msg00358.html.
I'm using RH9, gcc-3.2.2-5, XFree86-4.3.0-2, devel & libs.  The error I  
get is below.  I can configure and compile grandr_applet-0.2.tar.gz  
just fine.  It's only doing make install in garnome that fails.  (Does  
that help at all?)

Thanks,

Joe
