Precompiled packages of GnomeMeeting are available as part of the GNOME supplementary packages. These can be found under ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/ or any other mirror. Please read the README.txt first. To add the supplementary GNOME as YaST package repository, follow the instructions under http://www.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories > > For example, the file gconf-2.0.pc is not present in a > > directory listed in $PKG_CONFIG_PATH > > (/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig) > > or anywhere else in the system for that matter. > > Nevertheless, YAST reports that gconf2 version > > 2.10.0-5 is already installed. If you really want to build your own packages, either use "rpmbuild -ba <package.src.rpm>", which will report any missing packages needed for build, or if you want to get automatic installation of needed packages without touching your normal work environment, follow the instructions under http://www.opensuse.org/SUSE_Build_Tutorial gconf-2.0.pc is part of the gconf2-devel package, so pkgconfig is correct in not finding the file, as well as YaST is correct in saying gconf2 is already installed. > as SuSE is steadily trying to not have a good relationship with the > GNOME folks and even the efforts at OTS seem to have been going quite > resultless, please file a bug against SuSE to fix their spec.

Sorry Kilian, but these are the comments which wont make the relationship any better. The source rpm is in a good state and will build and produce a nice working package. It even includes a large patch (30k) to let it use the zeroconf library which is part of the system (libdns-sd), instead of libhowl. Yes, I know, there have been GM packages which have been broken, but the packages also have been in a good shape since quite some time. Happy new year!
