thanks for the hints: not every export Variable is mentioned before beginning with gnome. They are mentioned in the sections: "pre installation configuration": export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome-2.12/bin export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/gnome-2.12/lib/pkgconfig export GNOME_LIBCONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib:/opt/gnome-2.12/lib libgnomeui: export LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH=$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/libglade/2.0 gnome-menus: export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/gnome/xdg libgtop: export INFOPATH=/usr/share/info:$GNOME_PREFIX/share/info > I don't know why you didn't mention setting the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable. I searched the complete section of gnome2 instructions of the blfs-svn book. There is no mentioning of a variable XDG_DATA_DIRS. I added everything with export to my /etc/profile and started gnome with gdm. => no change Greetings Olaf -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
