Re: GNOME_Gnumeric.xml install was Error compiling 0.75

YES, the strace gave me the hint I was looking for. gnumeric was looking
for that file under another version. I got it working now. Thanks for
all your help.

I just have one more question. This is just out of curiosity. Why is
gnumeric use directories like /usr/share/gnumeric/0.75-bonobo and not
/usr/share/gnumeric/0.75? I think this is the only software that is this
way? It is really rough on packagers.
