GNOME doesn't work for me.

[Daniel Elenius <danel698 student liu se>]

I decided to try out GNOME 1.0, so being a debian user I dl'ed and
compiled all the packages in the order suggested on the www.gnome.org.
I followed all instructions and read all the appropriate docs.
I ran into some trouble however, some of which I solved, but these
remain:

1) enlightenment-conf's make  gives me a lot of error messages of this type:

e-conf.o(.text+0xee0d): undefined reference to `capplet_widget_get_type'
e-conf.o(.text+0xee1d): undefined reference to `capplet_widget_state_changed'

2) gdm's make says:

/usr/lib/libwrap.a(hosts_access.o): In function `host_match':
hosts_access.o(.text+0x4c1): undefined reference to `yp_get_default_domain'

3) gnome-admin's make:

gulp.o(.rodata+0x838): undefined reference to `__objc_class_name_Gtk_CList'
gulp.o(.rodata+0x844): undefined reference to `__objc_class_name_Gtk_Table'
gulp.o(.rodata+0x848): undefined reference to `__objc_class_name_Gtk_Label'
gulp.o(.rodata+0x84c): undefined reference to `__objc_class_name_Gtk_VBox'
gulp.o(.rodata+0x850): undefined reference to `__objc_class_name_Gtk_CheckButton'
gulp.o(.rodata+0x854): undefined reference to `__objc_class_name_Gtk_Button'
gulp.o(.rodata+0x85c): undefined reference to `__objc_class_name_Gnome_App'
gulp.o(.rodata+0x860): undefined reference to `__objc_class_name_Gnome_AppWin'

4) gnumeric's configure:

configure: error: Could not link sample xml program
-------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, none of these are essential, right? So, I tried to run it.
Is this a correct .xsession for that (note that debian uses .xsession
not .xinitrc):

panel &
/usr/local/enlightenment/bin/enlightenment

E starts to load, but the percentage meter thing stops at 94%, and
then nothing else happens.

So I tried to run it with my old fvwm2 (changing the E line above to
'exec fvwm2'). The panel loads, but there's not a single icon on it,
not even the 'foot'. And the home dir icon on the desktop
doesn't. appear until I run gmc.

I would be very happy for any help, gnome seems really great if you
get it to work.
