The sources are available at

	http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/zenity/1.0

[sorry, I screwed up earlier]

No binaries available as yet.

Nope, does there really need to be? I don't think it would contain
anything much.

Um, if you use the package above, then a simple
	./configure --prefix=/usr/local
	make
	make install
should be enough.

If you're using CVS, you'll have to make sure you have the neccessary
Autotools environment, then a simple 
	./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
	make
	make install
is what you want.

The Autotools environment needs libtool, automake, autoconf, gettext,
scrollkeeper, popt, along with the other library dependancies.

		Hope this helps,
