Re: How to install gnome-guile and gnome-core

What is X_CFLAGS used for?  I have removed most of the references I
have found to it in the gnome packages.

This is pretty strange.  What are the contents of your gnomeConf.sh
file?  That file should include -ldl in the defnition for GNOME_LIBS,
is that the case?

i have not seen yesterday's patch.  Can you confirm if it is still
missing from the CVS, and if so, could you resend it to me?

Best wishes,
