Re: cannot compile gtk+

["Chris Hardy" <chardy vcn com>]

Ok,  This is what I am seeing, and anyone on the list is free to correct me.

Do a locate glib.m4 .. This is where your aclocal macros are sitting if you
have two of these (one in your gnome directory, and one in a
/usr/local/share/aclocal) Get rid of the /usr/local/share/aclocal.  If you
have only one glib.m4 type the following command at the prompt.

export ACLOCAL_FLAGS=/home/eisen/gnome/share/aclocal

then do something along the lines of
 ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/eisen/gnome


And see what happens.
