I have been using garnome*13.something* for like 6
months and loved each minute of it. I got interested in updating it, figured I
had waited long enough, and downloaded the .18 garnome that is currently most
current.
It will not compile on my 7.3 Redhat
system
It runs for a *long* time (amd800 - 396mb ram)
prehaps 2 hours and dies with a make error 2. I am having to email the list from
windows and I did not write the exact error messages down. (sue me)
But I ASSumed some things.
1. `make install` from meta/gnome-desktop/
downloads a lot of stuff.... wouldn't it get everything it needed? I see it runs
something like a configure and checks for compilers,etc for a lot of the
downloads... it would error out there if it could right? and say "You need susch
and such .lib" whatever. obviously one shouldnt be root here,
right?
2. I created a 'new' user and tried it and it still
bombs out after running 2 hours.
3. After a compile when I try and load it I get the
splash screen, but it just stalls there and gdm after 30 sec's or so reasserts
itself. I can log into other users but just not garnome which, of course, is
what I want given I like bad-ass bleeding edge stuff. Which brings up question
#4.
4. Should I just install Redhat8 and be
done????
I'd rather not I have a heavily customized system.
I have KDE liquid (mosfet) running for 1 user, etc, etc....
Any advice appreciated.
