Thanks Paul, We newbies never know if it is the setup that is giving us the problem or something we've done! This helps a lot. Its compiling as we speak.... fingers crossed!

No, that can't work. The pathname is hardcoded into all the binaries (where to look for shared libraries, etc. etc.) Once you rename the directory you won't be able to reboot into Gnome again until you build/install the new version. Another option is to change the garnome setup to install the new version as ~/garnome-2.8.0, then you can keep both the old and new versions simultaneously and switch back and forth by tweaking your .xsessionrc file (or whatever you use). -- ============================================== Jim Maas jamaas at btinternet dot com |
