RE: Gnome login restarts gnome the first time I login.

["Miguel Gonzalez" <jffernandez usuarios retecal es>]

Dear Malcolm,

 I have downloaded the following RPM package from the rpmfind.net :

 rpm-3.0.5-7.6x.i386.rpm

 for the Red hat 6.2.

 I have installed it using the -U (upgrade) flag and seems to have been
upgraded well.

 But when I try the following:

 rpm --rebuild gdm-2.2.2.1-ximian.8.src.rpm

 Then I got the following error:

 aclocal: configure.in: 7 : macro 'AM_PROG_XML_I' not found in library
 Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.60622 (%build)

 What is happening? I am really lost with all this.

 Many thanks for your patience and your time.

 Miguel
