I made some progress. In another corrispondence, I was made aware of the concept of pinning. After some background research on my part, I successfully mannaged to install intltool-0.41.0 (from the karmic repositories). One thing that bothered me was that apt-get informed me that gnome-common, gettext-doc, and a handful of other packages "... were automatically installed and are no longer needed" and I should run apt-get autoremove to remove them from my system. After a couple minutes of head-scratching, I ran apt-get autoremove apt-get install gnome-common apt-get build-dep at-spi and it appeared to bring back the "UNNEEDED" packages (without downgrading my new intltool). My next step was to try configuring at-spi (gnome-2-22) again. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/at-spi This time, the new intltool was successfully identified and the configure process advanced farther, but I have a new error: checking for LIBSPI... yes checking for REGISTRYD... configure: error: Package requirements ( libbonobo-2.0 >= 1.107.0 atk >= 1.17.0 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.10.0 dbus-glib-1 >= 0.76 ) were not met: Requested 'dbus-glib-1 >= 0.76' but version of dbus-glib is 0.74 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables REGISTRYD_CFLAGS and REGISTRYD_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. I'm not entirely sure what the deal is. Is dbus-glib-1 the only dependency that is broken? Or do I need to upgrade libbonobo-2.0, atk (which I already built successfully from the git gnome-2-22 sources), and gtk+-2.0 as well? Your E-mail and More On-the-Go. Get Windows Live Hotmail Free.
