Re: gnome configuration

["Fred W. Smith" <fsmith computersandthings com>]

Again Thanks,

Thanks for your reply the paper was from the following link.
http://www.gnome.org/start/getting_rh.shtml
It was an RPM installation with apparently no errors using the version for
Red Hat 5.2 download from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/gnome-1.0/redhat

I installed the Red Hat from the CD with a minimal install and then ran the
gnome rpm install which seemed to go without a hitch. But then I get the
error below.

To answer your further questions and directions, I ran the lddconfig and
asked the
which gnome-session the reply was  /usr/bin/gnome-session

the ldd /usr/bin/gnome-session yielded the following output:
