Re: gnomemeeting-1.2.2: surprise dependencies

["Joseph E. Sacco, PhD" <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Having a bad day already ...
(1) the correct Makefile is attached to this email

(2) Pondering over the e-d-s / firefox LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem I think
that changing libedataserver-1.2.pc is a bad idea [guenther concurs :-)]

What might be better is a post-install target in firefox that links a
select list of libs from $(libdir)/firefox-1.x.y to $(libdir)

The list of libs to be linked:
* libnspr4.so 
* libnss3.so 
* libnsskbi.so 
* libplc4.so 
* libsmime3.so 
* libsoftokn3.so 
* libssl3
