Thanks to the folks that helped with my gnome-pilot install. Your re-assurance that it should work prompted me to continue pursing in the current environment. I found that the conduit was attempting to connect through dev/pilot, and I had no dev/pilot.
I am now happily synching with Evolution. Is Evolution accepted as the popular choice? Please e-mail me off list, I do not care to start a flame war re: everyone's favorite desktop manager.

I am using Debian Woody with Gnome 1.4. I tried to install gnome-pilot from the debian .deb file. It crashes on the initial configuration with a segment fault. I decided to install from the source, but the ./configure fails thinking that Gnome is not installed. Apparently the Gnome .deb does not include gnomeConf.sh. I dug around and found that gnomeConf.sh comes from the gnomeLibs. I downloaded that, but its configure says that GTK is not installed. I don't know if it is missing a single file, or if the libs are for Gnome 2. The lib version is 1.2.13. So, I considered re-installing Gnome from the sources, but decided that it is not worth the effort if I do not upgrade to 2.0. But, 2.0 does not work with Woody, only Sid. I'm putting off the upgrade to 2.0 until Sid becomes stable. Questions: 1. Is Sid stable enough that a savvy, but unseasoned, computer professional can rely on it for running a business? 2. Am I just doing something stooopid with the gnome-pilot install that I can fix? I have over 10 years application programming experience and am a technical user, so compiling and configuring do not scare me. Most of my experience has been with Windows, so I am still floundering a bit with Linux. Thank you for the feedback, Tom Lamm
