Re: Compiling Gnome under Slackware 3.5

[Kevin Miller <sar hempseed com>]

Slackware has a little problem called libc5 and no libc6 as of yet (unless
you install it yourself).  Libc5 doesnt contain all the stuff for nls, so
ya get to use  --disable-nls  when you configure sometimes..

At least I had this prob when making gnome on my slack3.3 box.. and all it
does is disable native language support...

So, if you dont need to use anything other than english, this is an
option.

Something tells me this isn't a good thing.
