Re: compiling the new cvs version...

Joaquin, I've just seen your message in the archives, so sorry for not
answering you before. I seemed to have deleted
your original mail witout reading it.

ok, I'll do it soon

ok, my fault. I changed the names the other day and I forgot this one.
It's now fixed in CVS.

it's nothing related to Bonobo. You're missing the oaf-factory.idl file,
which should be part of oaf-devel, but isn't. So,
I'm sending you this file and after this I'll send a mail to the OAF
maintainers so that they include it in the next
release.

For gnome-db (that is not libgda), bonobo-0.23 is ok. Don't upgrade
Bonobo!!!

cheers
