I downloaded the tarball from http://home.wtal.de/petig/Gtk/ (marked
"New"). It has a glademm.spec file and I made an rpm from it. It was named
SNAP. By the way, there's no docs/KNOWN file in the tarball, and rpmbuild
fails at the very end. I added that. I also swapped the aclocal and
autoheader in src/Cxx.cc and it woked (i.e. the resulting glade-- produced
an autogen.sh that was able to configure and compile project.glade).

Between what I saw happening on my own computer and what they say, I
believe what I saw. It was needed in the glade-- version I compiled. At
any rate, I'm very frustaed with all the automake tools - they were
designed to make configuration and compilation easier across different
platform, and it turns out that automake/autoconf is more difficult to
keep straight than anything. And if you want to learn from scracth, from
the online gnu manuals, good luck!

I'll try the cvs version.

Is there anything specific that you would like me to do?
