gdl install problem, solution



I was trying to install gdl on a RedHat 7.0/Redcarpeted machine in 
preparation for installing gIDE and stumbled across something fishy.

I got the error "You need Bonobo 1.0.7 or higher to build GDL".

I knew I had 1.0.7 Bonobo, but autogen.sh couldn't see it.  It turns out 
gnome-config is looking for the file bonoboConf.sh.  This file is in the 
Redhat "rawhide" version of bonobo, but MISSING FROM XIMIAN'S.

I was able to work around this problem.

I got bonobo-1.0.7-1.i386.rpm from the "rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS" directory 
of VALinux's Redhat mirror, then get bonobo-1.0.7-ximian.1.i386.rpm from 
ftp.ximian.com, directory "/pub/ximian-gnome/redhat-70-i386".  I installed 
Redhat's bonobo and then immediately installed Ximian's over the top of it.

# rpm -ivh --nodeps --force bonobo-1.0.7-1.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh --force bonobo-1.0.7-ximian.1.i386.rpm

Should I report this as a bug, and if so to whom?
