	Some people may have seen me on #gnome-help and #gnome yesterday
(on the GIMPnet IRC network, I think) trying to get my head around a
compilation issue I was having with gnome-core-1.2.1.

	I was trying to compile gnome-core after successfully installing
gnome-libs-1.2.4 from ftp.gnome.org.....stable/sources, but I was getting
linking errors as the gcc statements appeared to be missing lots of -llib
parts.  (I had also installed all other required libs as per the page on
gnome.org)

	Has anyone known the suspected bad gnome-libs-1.2.4 to do this?
Is there anything major that was broken in 1.2.3, ie. should I try
recompiling bits and pieces after replacing 1.2.4 with 1.2.3?

	Thanks,
