Re: Slow canvas performance

[Rob Clack <rnc sanger ac uk>]

Thanks for this.  Sadly, when I try to get it, I get this message:

cvs.gnome.org web content is currently down as part of the migration to
a spiffy new server

I went to the ViewCVS page and downloaded the source files, but know
nothing at all about configure.  When I tried to run the autogen.sh
script I got a message saying I had to install gnome-common. This is a
problem since I don't have root access on my machine, so would have to
get Systems Support to install it for me.  As I'm only in the process of
trying to find a faster canvas, I'm reluctant to do that before I'm
confident it's going to do what I actually want.

Is there a ready-made foocanvas library I can install that doesn't
require gnome-common?

Or is there some other way around this problem that I haven't thought
of?  For instance, is there a way to install gnome-common somewhere that
doesn't require root privileges?

Thanks
Rob
