Re: Gnome in MAC OS X/x11

["Karl D. Middlebrooks" <coalblacksmith731 mac com>]

Fink is probably the easiest way to get a Gnome version working on OS 
X. However, I believe that Fink is only up to the 2.4 release of Gnome 
(the current version is 2.6.1, I believe). There's also Darwinports at 
http://darwinports.org; I haven't used it a lot, but it's reasonably 
easy to get around with as well, and I believe they may have ported 
Gnome 2.6 (at least, they have a portfile for the 2.6 version of the 
gnome-vfs package, which is a good sign.

If you are really, really, really bored and more than a little bit 
masochistic, you can build everything for Gnome 2.6 by hand from the 
sources available at http://www.gnome.org (and a few other places). 
I've gone this unfortunate route twice (once with horrible results and 
an unusable Gnome desktop, and once quite successfully, though with a 
few minor oddities that also seem to appear on x86 linux boxes); it 
requires a fair amount of patching and a lot of patience.
