Re: Compiling. from CVS

[spblunt ozemail com au (Steven Blunt)]

There should be a FAQ for this.  aclocal didn't find the glib.m4 file.
Either copy it from /opt/gnome/share/aclocal to /usr/local/share/aclocal or
add /opt/gnome/share/aclocal to aclocal's path.  Probably the latter but
I've never bothered to work out how.
