Lars, Mark, Ben:
Thanks! I moved/linked /usr/local to /usr, symlinked gdk-pixbuf.m4, updated my
$PATH, and created LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Autogen then complained about libxml-1.7
something being too old, so I installed libxml-1.8.11-1. Then it worked. Not
without warnings, but OK.
I got far enough along in the make to exhaust available disk space, though.
(I guess that 30GB that's in the mail is going to come in handy.)
I just bought Havoc Pennington's "GTK+/Gnome Application Development"
http://www.newriders.com/books/title.cfm?isbn=0735700788 (full source also
online!) I guess I have my reading to do while UPS is en route.
One more question in passing. I'm intending to use Dia in Gnome. The X client
(dia) is linux; the X server is xfree86 on NetBSD. Autogen ended with:
Gnome support: no
Build bonobo component (not supported): no
Gnome-print support (not recommended): no
Should those all be turned off in my case?
Again, much obliged.
