Hmmn.

Gnope.  Re-reinstalling ORBit from scratch, followed by 'make uninstall,' 'make
distclean,' and re-compiling gnome-libs still horks at the same place in 'make
install.'  

Any other thoughts?  Some other lib that needs updating?  Should I just give
up and wait for GNOME 2.0.1 sometime in mid-'01?  Thanks in advance....


(Grr.  I've been compiling things for over a week now, and still can't get
past gnome-libs.  It's enough to send me over to KDE again....)
