I have a considerable part of GNOME-0.30 running on my Solaris box. The main
 problem is having to install a large number of GNU utils that GNOME takes for
 granted. Some of these replace existing Solaris utils with slightly modified
 behaviour ! (these were tricky to find).

Once I got these utils installed things went quite well. I had to hack around
 with various bits and pieces and some of it still doesn't work. I got enough
 working to have fun. If you want more I am sure thereis enough expertise on
 this list to point you in the right direction.

I enclose :

The BUILD script I used for each package. You'll need to fool around with the
 variables a bit to suit yourself, and install all the pakages I used somewhere
 - most of them come from the GNU repository. (you can substitute emacs for
 xemacs if you like. Gnome only uses some tiny util from it's distrib, not emacs
 itself).

A list of problems I encountered, and some fixes... - very sketchy...

I haven't tried with a recent snapshot so I couldn't tell you if things are
 getting better or worse.

Let me know how you get on - if you know your way around Solaris, this will take
 you about a day....
