Hello,
in case u re not using precompiled binaries but do stuff on ur own by grabbing the latest sources of http://www.gnome.org u may become witness of some oddities Wink

. ORBit-0.5.15 the latest stable version for GNOME 1.4 appears to be broken. Not too surprising, it took me almost two days just to fix the crappy scripts. There where funny things in it just like trying to gzip a directory, false paths.. really horrible Sad

. Today when compiling the new 1.4.1.7 Update of the Gnome libraries, they failed to compile because of a missing ORBit function being called. By the time I reverted to the ORBit-0.5.13 version I was able to finish compiling the libraries. So just an advice, do not trust the configure scripts of the sources, some of them are broken and need fixing first. Lets hope things will improve once the Gnome 2 version comes out.
bye
Ken
