If you want to have a quiet computer, don't install esound or audiofile
(there might be a esound-config or esd-config to delete also, I don't
remember).  If you don't have those on the system, everything should
compile just fine, and without sound support.

No, but CVS forgot to grab something it should have done automatically.
Some of the anonymous CVS servers don't seem to be giving the
gnome-libs/libart_lgpl directory properly.  Do a fresh "cvs co gnome-libs"
until you see the directory there.

Note: GTK+ was updated very recently, you might need to update that one as
well before gnome-libs will compile.

It's not a dependancy, it is a missing portion of the module.  The rule of
thumb for what is dependant on what is to check the FAQ.  In
<http://www.gnome.org/gnomefaq/FAQ-4.html>, under the question "What Order
Do I Compile Things In?", you will see a list (remove LibIDL from the
list, it is redundant).  Any package further down on the list might be
dependant on something prior to it.

Some of the anonymous CVS servers are flaky, be patient.

You can probably find most of what you're looking for by browsing
around the GNOME webpage, at http://www.gnome.org.

Checkout gnome-libs until you get everything.  You might also try to
checkout libart_lgpl as a separate package and copy the directory to
gnome-libs.

In addition to the GNOME FAQ, there is also a very good "Beginners
Guide to GNOME CVS" by Soren Howard at
<http://www.cinternet.net/~soren/gnome/cvs.shtml>.  Check it out to
make sure you aren't duplicating work.
