Re: Problem executing gnomemeeting

Your comment 

        "I don't know if it's related but in fact, I noticed that
        gnomemeeting seems to run gconfd-2 (/usr/lib/gconfd-2)"

leads me to believe that you may have an environment setup issue. 

The /etc/profile stuff looks OK, but it is not something that I use.

Try the following:

(1) create /usr/local/bin/garnome_session

        #!/bin/sh
        
        GARNOME=/opt/garnome
        ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $GARNOME/share/aclocal -I /usr/share/aclocal"
        PATH=$GARNOME/bin:$PATH
        MANPATH=$GARNOME/man:$MANPATH
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GARNOME/lib:$GARNOME/lib/firefox-1.0.7:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        PYTHONPATH=$GARNOME/lib/python2.4/site-packages:$GARNOME/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0
        PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$GARNOME/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
        XDG_DATA_DIRS=$GARNOME/share:/usr/share
        XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$GARNOME/etc/xdg
        GDK_USE_XFT=1
        export ACLOCAL_FLAGS PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH PYTHONPATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH GDK_USE_XFT XDG_DATA_DIRS XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
        exec $GARNOME/bin/gnome-session

changing 
* GARNOME
* firefox version
* python version

to reflect your system.

(2) create .xinitrc [or .xsession is you use GUI login]

        #!/bin/sh
        
        PATH=/opt/garnome/bin:$PATH
        
        dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session /usr/local/bin/garnome-session

changing PATH to reflect your setup.

(3) comment out the GARNOME stuff in /etc/profile

(4) restart the desktop

If this works, go back and ponder over the contents of /etc/profile.

If you get the same behavior, revisit your build environment.
