I think what he is referring to is not a crash, but if you run configure
in the top directory after unpacking the gnomemm-all tarball, it wont
build because it tries to configure each package then, and since some
packages depend on other packages, it will fail because theyre not
installed.  Does that make any sense?

Like how libbonobuimm depends on libbonobomm,
gnomemm-all will try to configure libbonobuimm, which will fail,
since libbonobomm is not installed yet.

The only solution I can see is a nasty hack involving prefix's, and I
think thats surely less than optimal.  Perhaps someone else can provide
a better solution.
