Gnomeconf.sh EXTENDED PROBLEM...

[fod]

Sorry for posting another topic but the messeges get swalled by hundereds of
others so quickly..

Ok, I posted about the:

checking for gnome-config... no
checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found
configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by
gnome-libs install

Ok.. So i did what i was told. I downloaded gnome-libs-dev... But i am running
suse 7.1 and i couldn't find it anywhere for this os. So i downloaded one from
the redhat ftp for redhat 7 as i thought this would be the most resent.
Anyway, I downloaed the package in .rpm (gnome-libs-dvel-1.2.4-11.i386.rpm)
format and installed it in root... But
before it acctually installs i get a dependancies error... (This is in
KPACKAGE)

gnome-libs
ORBit-devel
imlib-devel
db1-devel

It says these are the dependancies it needs. But the thing I find really
strange is that I know that gnome-libs is installed. I then downloaed the
other packages from the server but everytime i install a new one of them
it needs 2 or 3 more dependancies.. As you can probally tell this is forming
a tree and before long I will be doing alot of downloading on my little 56k.

I looked on my SuSE cd's... And it wasn't on there. I then looked on the site
and nothing...

I have tried and tried.. Read and asked and after a week of the same problem
you can imagion it gets rather frustrating.

So does anyone have any ideas to my problem. Like i said, i am using SuSE 7.1
with the 2.4 kernel...

Thanks

Have a look at this web site: (withhout the www.) (http://www.)) sdb.suse.de/sdb/en. Then click on How do I start Gnome? From what I've read, it could be that you need to install a bit more software to get it to work (probably need to install it before you install Gnome).
