I did a full install of XFree86, and put it in /usr/local/X11R6. I've now started building gnome, and have successfully, with more effort than I thought necessary, however, built: esound, audiofile, glib, libxml, ORBit, gtk+, imlib. I'm now working on gnome-libs, and struggling with some unresolved externals from libintl (either the prototypes are different and the linker don't like that, or I'm getting in serious trouble for trying to do things in /usr/local/XXXX) is this experience the norm? thanks! marc.
