[Fwd: Fwd: gnome-pilot [tom@osageinc.com]]
Thanks to the folks that helped with my gnome-pilot install. Your
re-assurance that it should work prompted me to continue pursing in the
current environment. I found that the conduit was attempting to connect
through dev/pilot, and I had no dev/pilot.
I am now happily synching with Evolution.
Is Evolution accepted as the popular choice? Please e-mail me off list,
I do not care to start a flame war re: everyone's favorite desktop
manager.
Thanks again,
Tom

I am a still unseasonsed linux user. I am using Debian Woody with Gnome
1.4. I tried to install gnome-pilot from the debian .deb file. It
crashes on the initial configuration with a segment fault.
I decided to install from the source, but the ./configure fails
thinking that Gnome is not installed. Apparently the Gnome .deb does
not include gnomeConf.sh.
I dug around and found that gnomeConf.sh comes from the gnomeLibs. I
downloaded that, but its configure says that GTK is not installed. I
don't know if it is missing a single file, or if the libs are for Gnome
2. The lib version is 1.2.13.
So, I considered re-installing Gnome from the sources, but decided that
it is not worth the effort if I do not upgrade to 2.0. But, 2.0 does
not work with Woody, only Sid. I'm putting off the upgrade to 2.0 until
Sid becomes stable.
Questions:
1. Is Sid stable enough that a savvy, but unseasoned, computer
professional can rely on it for running a business?
2. Am I just doing something stooopid with the gnome-pilot install that
I can fix?
I have over 10 years application programming experience and am a
technical user, so compiling and configuring do not scare me. Most of
my experience has been with Windows, so I am still floundering a bit
with Linux.
Thank you for the feedback,
Tom Lamm
