Ali,

   Then I'd need to run the file through rpm2tgz. I'm building from source if
I cannot locate a Slackware package that has it.

   I have a gnome-x.x.x which is the "core" libraries. I grep'd all the
packages for 'gnome-config' and found nothing. On my google search I turned
up a bunch of messages with the same problem: missing gnome-config holding
up configuration of some package. Didn't see any solutions, though. I also
tried to search the gnome.org Web site but didn't see a search widget or any
indications of where gnome-config might be hiding.

   Gnucash does OK, but it has so many dependencies on things that no other
application I use uses it's rather a PITA to get it re-installed on the new
platform. Sigh.

Many thanks,

Rich
