Re: Building gnome-libs-1.1.0 RPM

[Ali Abdin <aliabdin aucegypt edu>]

gnome-libs-1.1.0 is in an EXTREMLY unusable state. It will break your
applications and render them unusable (non-binary compatible I believe with
1.0.x). You do not want to use gnome-libs-1.1.0. This is a developer only
release.

Feel free to use gnome-core-1.1.x though :) Not gnome-libs. I suspect that
the message-of-doom /may/ hae been put in there intentionally to prevent
people from screwing up :)
