RE: Gnome & Gtk+ - can't even get off the ground.



I think this has to do with where your ~/share/aclocal is. On mine, I have
everything relating to gnome install in /opt, so /opt/share/aclocal is where
that is. 

I do this everytime I login to compile gnome stuff:
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /opt/share/aclocal"

Ever since then, I haven't had any "AM_*" errors.

Hth,
