Some errors during first installation of gnome-0.25 (and some fixings)

[Jens Muehlenhoff <elrond uni-paderborn de>]

Hello folks,

I had several errors during installation of gnome-0.25 on my
linux-system at home. I want to help you, make the installation of
gnome bug-free (I know, the only bug-free software up to now is tex, I
think). Here is my installation-script, includes the error-message
(lightly shortend) and the things I have done to fix them.

I use the programs:
   gcc 2.7.2.1,   libc 5.4.44
   libg 27.2.1,   automake 1.3
   autoconf 2.12, gettext 0.10.32

Installation script from elrond@hobbit 98/08/06 - 98/08/07:

I install every thing in /usr/local. The directroy-name are 
always relative to the main current installing package.

That was hard working - at first get the new gnome-version running
and then get the errors on this list. Hopefully I'm not off
topic, but on the gnome-page I could not find any other address
to snd my bug-reports (the bugreport-page seems to be very slow).



Best Regards

Jens

PS: it was hard work to ge on this list, hopefully it was a good idea.
