#i read somewhere that gnome-libs req DocBook, but i couldnt figure out
#how to install it so i skipped it and gnome-libs compiled without
complains

#i compiled XFree86 before i tried started on gnome
#i have NOT compiled the entire Enlightenment package just fnlib-0.5,
#freetype-1.1, esound-0.2.17 and enlightenment-0.16.3
#but that shouldnt matter (?)
