thanks a lot.

Putting words like "immediately" in your request for free assistance will not help your cause at all. Sounds like you're either a teen-ager or a more mature jerk.

What !!!!
I dont need ur help, ur a jerk ok.. not me!!!
if u have nothing to say,u dont have to answer.

PS:least u may say its a bad subject but not like that. "jerk"

I would not try to compile Gnome from the sources by hand, as that is known to be very, very hard to do.
Gnome has a project called Garnome that will help you build Gnome from the source files:

http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/

I have looked at it, but never used it myself. I will be interested to hear if it works or not.

Let me know how it works so that I can add it to my bag of Linux tricks (or not give a piece of broken advice to others)

P.S: The point that rickh is attempting to make is that the word "immediately" is not required. A subject like "Problem compiling Gnome from source" would have made me read this thread before I did, actually.

Whynot, Rickh is right that you need to give your threads better titles and not demand immediate answers because you will get an answer when a volunteer comes along who has one. As for calling each other names, I think you both need to town down a bit so that this thread remains civil. Cheers.

Chadl is right, GNOME is a pain to compile from source (thats why some distros have dropped it). Use Garnome or an official build for your distro.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I had the same problem with libgnomeprint for Gnome 2.20 and this thread was the only result on google no matter what I searched.
Since I later found a solution to this, I thought that i should post it here for others.

The problem seems to be that libgnomeprint looks for the files installed by docbook-xsl in the wrong place.
On the distro Enlisy(and also on Archlinux), the files installed by docbook-xsl is installed in:
<version> = the version number of the docbook-xsl package.

But libgnomeprint looks for it in /usr/share/xml/docbook/
A pretty ugly fix to this is to make a symlink like this:
Thats what I did and that makes libgnomeprint compile, but there must be a better way of fixing it than that.
But I looked everywhere for an option to change where libgnomeprint looks for the files but I didn't find anything.
I even looked in the configure and configure.in if there was something that you could change there but no
But atleast this fixes it for now.

Sorry for the rambling but I'm pretty tired right now :P

I hope someone finds this useful.

It works very nice, is easy to use (compared to compile Gnome really by hand and on foot...) and if something does not compile - which might happen with 200 packages of software or so - it's easily fixed.

I used Garnome several times with several versions, I can recommend it.

There's btw. a KDE pendant, if you like to add this to "my impressive linux magick bag" also.

-> http://kdesvn-build.kde.org/

I just used it to compile a pre-4-beta of KDE and it worked perfectly fine.


If one REALLY wants, the little helpers to compile Linux entirely from scratch are rather impressive and well working. (I did LFS several times either.)
