There should be a descriptive error message - without that, all attempts to help are just guesswork!
Since you appear to be using the book's old 2.30 gnome versions, I think you should try 2.30.3 : I see a couple of things in the 2.30.2 and 2.30.3 'news' files at http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/metacity/2.30/ which look related to preventing build problems - in particular, -Werror gives problems where the newer versions of gcc have started to warn about more things. 2.34.1 is used with gnome-3 so it might require newer versions of GConf, zenity, or libcanberra. [ see Wayne's book ]. I've used libcanberra-0.28 on LFS-6.8 as well as LFS-7.0, and I know GConf-3.2.3 works fine on LFS-7.0 with gtk+-3. As to zenity, I have no experience. As always, YMMV. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
