Re: RedHat 5.2 + Gnome 1.0.1 + __register_frame_info

[Gisli Ottarsson <gisli master adams com>]

This is the topic of another thread (Re: : undefined symbol:
__register_frame_info).  Earlier today I posted the following
infomation which I assume you will find pertinent.

Good luck

  GO>   rpm -U --force *.rpm

  GO> Thanks to all that shed light on this.
