by I Installed redhat6 a week ago and fell in love with gnome.
I got the latest and greatest from gnome.org only to find that
they dont compile due to missing config files and sh files.
Had to install everything from the top of the gnome installation
tree (glib). Do rpms clean up after itself or does it just put the
binaries somewhere and forget about it... where are the missing files?
so question 1:
by compiling the sources with prefix=/usr which redhat seems to use, am
i overwriting the RPMed files redhat put there?
This would be good cuz I dont gotta worry about conflicts... but not
sure wat happens in the lib directory...
If not then do I have to uninstall all the offending RPMs first b4 I
compile?
question 2:
wat does ldconfig do?
question 3:
is there anyway to install RPMs with those missing files?
grrr.......
question 4:
wat are all those warnings during compiles?... like
warning, attempted redefinition of something something
dont the developers see those warnings themselves?
anyway... if u got this far, i give u a smooch!!! and f u can answer
any these quesstions then ill give u a bigger one!!! hehe
thx in advance!!!
