You are running x first, right???
You can create/edit ~/.xinitrc to contain just the line "gnome-session".  
Then run startx.  If everything else x-ish is configured right, you should 
get gnome.  If you have not yet configured X, there have been several 
example XF86Config(-4)'s on the list.  I suggest looking at 
ftp.parisc-linux.org as I believe that there are examples there.

Good luck

Oh, and by the way, I suggest that if you want someone to reply to you in
the future, that you get rid of the "What are you?" in the reply-to
header.  It makes replying a little more difficult...

Ted:	ALL?  Do you realize what you're asking?  Men aren't trained

	letting anyone too close.  Good grief, if I go around
	sharing everything with you, you could hang me out to dry.
Sally:	It's called "trust," Ted.
Ted:	"Sharing"?  "Trust"?  You're really asking me to sail into
	uncharted waters here.
