Problem with Garnome..

[jdvilla]

Does anyone know how to configure the gar.conf.mk file or whatever is needed to correct the following error:

pwd = /usr/local/src/garnome-0.27.1/meta/gnome-desktop/

then make install

then after a lot of building I get a problem with xrender

here is were my problem starts

Resolving pdx.freedesktop.org... done.
Connecting to pdx.freedesktop.org[131.252.208.82]:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
22:51:59 ERROR 404: Not Found.


after that I assume that it's because of not being able to download xrender

Moderator: please move this to the how I did it section.

I looked at the URL, the file is no longer at the location specified. I had to do a search and change the location of where the file would be found...

/usr/local/src/garnome-0.27.1/bootstrap/xrender/Makefile

There's another little "gotcha" further along. Reading the mailing list and using http://www.google.com/linux will get you through, though.

Ok, I think I found the other gotcha. Would this happen to be it...

checking for X... no
configure: error: X is required, but it was either disabled or not found.

Any ideas on this? I'm googling for it as well as joined the mailing list, but have received no replies yet. I looked at the configure script and everything it includes all the dirs where X would be in...
