[NTLUG:Discuss] Slackware and Ximian Gnome

[David Stanaway]

Did you try my earlier suggestion of running the installer with xinit as
root?


Ctrl-Alt-F1 , login as root

lynx -source http://go-gnome.com/ > install-ximian.sh
chmod 755 install-ximian.sh
xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e $PWD/install-ximian.sh -- :1

(Okay, so this is a slight variation on my previous suggestion.. having
seen that it isn't wholey a graphical based installer)

ximian doesn't install on my system so I can't test past the beginning.

(I have debian/sid on powerpc hardware)
