Re: Gnome-libs compile problems

[Sam Nelson <samn shinkoh com>]

I've got it! Thanks for the help ;-)

I noticed the configure script was reporting:

GNOME_ORBIT_CHECK not found.

I guessed that gnome-libs/marcos/gnome_orbit_check.m4 was not getting run. I
didn't know how to fix it, so I axed all my autogen scripts and get fresh copies.

I got through gnome-objc w/o problems, and have run into some snags compiling
libgtop. So, you'll probably be hereing from me again soon ;-)

Thanks,
    Sam Nelson
