Re: Compiling. from CVS

["Alex G. Paoli" <ad_alexp wgn net>]

You know a thing I did to help was to go to /where_Gnome_Is/aclocal and
copy the files in there to my /usr/local/share/aclocal then make a symlink
from /gnome/aclocal to /usr/local/aclocal .. Then I have no confusion.

Just a suggestion.. One last thing to do is read Soren's (spelling?) FAQ
on CVS etc @http://www.cinternet.net/~soren/gnome/  :>
