[g-a-devel]Fwd: Re: building gnome-2

[Adi Dascal <ad baum ro>]

Is there anybody who could help me, telling me what may cause this kind of 
errors or giving me a "fresh" gnome-2.0 precompiled archive?
Thanks.

Adi.

Adi,

Send a report to gnome-accessibility-devel with the details.  Hopefully it

errors like the ones you report.

The ORBit2 errors sound like your version of glib isn't up to date.
