Message for Slackware users

[Brian M Dial <bdial rkkengineers com>]

I've seen a few problems similar ot my own and I think they're quite slackware
specific so I'm going to post my findings here.

###############################################
#  Installing gnome cvs from a fresh Slackware 3.6 Install #
###############################################

1.   Several Packages that I would love to see in the next
release of slackware are unfortunately missing.  These should
be installed on your system 

	* automake 1.3
	* libtool 1.2
	* autoconf 2.12
	* Many graphics libs (gif is incomplete, png, etc... See E instructions)
	* gettext 0.10.35

2.  I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but I found that the
gimp/gtk/glib/gdk files in /usr/X11R6 would continually haunt me.  This is 
even after I would do

funk:/usr/src/cvs/gtk+# ./autogen.sh --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include 
x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-glib-prefix=/usr/local 
--with-glib-exec-prefix=/usr/local

You will get a lot of errors like

undefined reference to g_whatever_whatever

and your make will die.  I wound up removing gtk/gdk/glib 1.0.6 from /usr/X11R6
and gimp too because without those libs it was useless.

These are a few of my findings with slackware 3.6 and gnome cvs, i hope it
helps someone ;)
