Re: ximian installer grayed out, RH7, Gnome 1.2.1

[Matt Nelson <mnelson dynatec com>]

i had the same problem.  this is how i fixed it:

you need to duplicate the directory structure from the ximian site.  in
other words, put the files you have already downloaded into a subdirectory
called redhat-70-i386/ and download the additional file install.xml.
for reference, the ximian ftp site looks like:

ncftp /pub/ximian-gnome > dir
drwxr-xr-x    3 1002     100        28672   Apr 25 04:45   debian-potato-i386

ncftp /pub/ximian-gnome > 

good luck...
