RE: Error in launching gnumeric

[Ian Stewart VerizonWireless com]

An alternative approach, for those uncomfortably with binary-only
distributions but who like the convenience and advanced management features
of RPM, may be to build your own RPM's from source, then install them as you
would any other RPM.  

Most of the Gnome packages should be available as src RPM's to facilitate
this.  Even if they are not the most recent builds, the spec files should
normally only require minor modification.

There is a HOWTO at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/RPM-HOWTO/index.html which
I have found helpful.

Ian
