Rawhide will be your best bet if you want everything to work well. You
don't have to compile them from source and you shouldn't have too much
trouble with crazy interdependencies. The only ones I can think of
would be X which will probably require the newer glibc. If you don't
want to touch X or glibc, you'll probably need to recompile at least
some of the components. The Rawhide RPMS work great BTW.
So you reckon if someone got the RPM's for the complete Gnome2.2 for RH
8.0, they'd work with RH 7.3 without too much of a problem? I know that
not much really changed between RH 7.3 and RH 8.0 with the exception of
a few deps here and there...I've been struggling enough lately trying to
get my Gnome back to snuff - and if that's an easier option, then I'll
walk that road...
If you are upgrading from Gnome 1.4 to 2.2, it will be quite a bit of
packages to upgrade. If you want to avoid upgrading X and possibly
glibc, you may need to rebuild some of the lower level packages such as
glib2,gtk2 and the libgnome* guys. Oops, forgot, you are going to need
Xft which is now included with X so you will probably need to upgrade
that one as well. You can rebuild it which may keep you from needing to
upgrade glibc, or just upgrade the whole lot. You will also need to
upgrade/install some packages for Gnome 1.4 compatibily
(libcapplet0,gnome-libs).
