That makes me nervous, since a lot of GNOME depends on gal and gtkhtml, and at least gal isn't guaranteed to be backwards-compatible. > or do what I do which is: > > install gal/gtkhtml into /opt/gnome > link /usr/lib/galConf.sh -> /opt/gnome/lib/galConf.sh (the same for > gtkhtmlConf.sh) > install evolution into /opt/gnome Interesting. Could I just change the /usr/lib/galConf.sh link for when I'm compiling evolution? In other words, is the /usr/lib/galConf.sh script consulted at runtime at all? I don't want to break my existing installation of GNOME 1.4 and Evolution 1.0.5 (i'm using all of GNOME from the Debian packages, except for evolution itself where I added my Evolution patches in). I suppose just remembering to switch the conf script links for gal and gtkhtml when I'm compiling Evolution wouldn't be too bad; however, I was hoping to find a solution which used something like GNOME_PATH so that I could just compile gal and gtkhtml from CVS, stick them in /build/evolution, and have evolution use the rest of the GNOME libraries installed in /usr. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
