Gnome on FreeBSD??? No Luck!!!

[Devin Butterfield <dbutter ix netcom com>]

Hi,

I've been trying to get gnome to compile on FreeBSD 3.1 with very little
success. I can manage to compile all the sources up to
libgtop-1.0.1.tar.gz....which is where it dies!

The make for libgtop dies with:

"/usr/local/lib/libgnomesupport.so: undefined reference to 'dgettext'"

I have browsed the news groups and found many suggestions that
libintl.so.1 may be missing, but this is not the case here...gettext is
correctly installed and libintl.so.1 is present in /usr/local/lib.

Also many people say that their efforts fail while compiling gnome-libs,
but gnome-libs compiled just fine for me.

Does anyone know what the heck is going wrong here? Has anyone managed
to get the recent distributions of gnome running on FreeBSD 3.1, and if
so, could you please share your experience? Any tricks?

Thanks in advance!!!
