Re: MIME badly broken: Problem Solved!!

["F. Heitkamp" <heitkamp ameritech net>]

As you may have seen in a previous message I had installed gnome in 
/usr/local/gnome26.  It seems, for some reason or another that gnome may 
expect all mime info to be in /usr/share/mime-info.  I have another 
directory /usr/share/mime also but I don't know if gnome cares about that. 
Anyway I combined the contents of /usr/share/mime-info into 
/usr/local/gnome26/share/mime-info and made a link from 
/usr/local/gnome26/share/mime-info to /usr/share/mime-info and now the 
MIME types seem to work fine!!.  Even my yelp (help) problem was solved! 
Likewise I also made similar link between /usr/local/gnome26/share/mime 
and /usr/share/mime.

I am not sure what the root (:)) cause of this problem was but maybe it is 
the result of the configure file I used to compile the gnome programs:

./configure \
	--prefix=/usr/local/gnome26 \
	--sysconfdir=/etc \
	--localstatedir=/var \
	--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \
	--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
