Sorry, I don't keep logs (like you do) so I can't remember exactly. I remember something complaining that I hadn't got it installed, but I don't think it was obligatory. > > 2.

Looks like more testing for me ;-) Version 5.14 gives me the same error, viz. mk-agen-texi FAILED: Cannot locate libopts.a I can patch 5.14 and see if it works. If it does, I'll send you the patch. Some of the line numbers in the SUSE patch don't accord with the latest version. > 3. Most puzzling for me, is how did you find this patch ?

For e.g. I can't get gnome-terminal to work reliably. Also some of the replacements for Gnome-Utilities don't work for me.
