Re: Gnome with slackware

[Marcus Brubaker <spoon elpaso net>]

This would do it, but is unnecessary.  With this particular problem,
simply delete the copy of glib.m4 in /usr/share/aclocal and do (if you're
running BASH) export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal"  Unless
I'm confusing problems here, this should do it.
