Re: gnomeConf.sh not found

["Derek E. Mart" <marticus ntr net>]

Try reinstalling the gnome-libs.*.i386.rpm binary package and see 
what happens, if this doesnt work try reinstalling the gnome-core 
bin pack, also as Jonas has stated try installing the basic devel-
packages like glib-devel, gtk+-devel imlib-devel gnome-libs-devel 
gnome-core-devel.  Here is the thing with this, however, I did not 
have these installed when I found that file you are looking for...??) 
let me see what that file belongs to...ok I stand corrected, it 
belongs to gnome-libs-devel package, you can find out what files 
belong to what package with this command ' rpm -qf 
/usr/lib/gnomeConf.sh '  I must have had the gnome-libs-devel 
package installed and didnt realize it, so install that one and you 
should have no problems, however, I recommend installing the gtk+ 
glib and imlib devels as well.  as these are standard devels for 
compiling programs for gdk
