Re: gnome-lib and Solaris 7x86

["Ben Taylor" <sol7x86 hotmail com>]

Well I figure you're talking about my packages, so I'll give
you a couple of suggestions.

1) symlink /opt/local to /usr/local (ln -s /usr/local /opt/local)
  and install the package.  This should install it in /usr/local,
  you can keep your path as /usr/local/bin, etc.., and all you have
  to do is keep the /opt/local symlink around and let the runtime
  linker find it that down that path.
2) If you've compiled up your own version of db 1.85, it depends
  on whether you've compiled in the C++ extensions.  As of later
  versions of gnome-lib, there is a --enable-stdc++ option which
  adds -lstdc++ to the link phase for the test for db-1.85.  The
  *big* problem is that the linker path's for db-1.85 don't end
  up in any of the config files (gnome-config, gnomeConf.sh) so
  you either have to manually add them there [which is what I did]
  or set a LD_LIBRARY_PATH [which I don't do].
3) PPro settings work on celeron, PII, PIII and above.  They work on
  other systems, but aren't optimized for those processors.

Hope this helps,

Ben
