Re: Problems compiling gnome-mag

Bill,

I tried jhbuild last week, and couldn't get it to work.

Are there any tips/tricks on getting it configured to run?

I am willing to step up to the plate and try to get the garnome modules
configured for accessibility.
I hope to have a little time over the next few weeks to devote to linux
accessibility.
