A Small Problem With gnomeConf.sh

Alright, im trying to install bzedit for linux, which ive never had a problem doing before.. im on slackware 9.0 with everything bzedit requires for install except this:

during configure, this error occured: checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found
configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install

So.. if i find a gnomeConf.sh file and stick it in /usr/local/lib.. would that fix the problem.. if not, how else would i go about fixing this?

Yeah bzedit must require the gnome libraries which apparently you dont have installed.

If you havent got Gnome installed, you could try installing Gnome and its libs from your dist cd which should resolve this issue

dude.. i have gnome installed...

I imagine i cant just search the distro's cd for a specific file since the packages are compressed... or can i?

What version of slack are you using as 9 allegedly doesnt install the libs for Gnome.
Try downloading these files from your local slack mirror

bonobo-1.0.20-i386-1.tgz
bonobo-conf-0.14-i386-1.tgz
gal-0.19.2-i386-1.tgz
gal-0.21-i386-1.tgz (from www.sf.net/projects/dropline-gnome)
gconf-1.0.9-i386-1.tgz
gnome-libs-1.4.1.7-i386-1.tgz
gnome-print-0.36-i386-1.tgz
gnome-vfs-1.0.5-i386-2.tgz
gtkhtml-1.0.2-i386-1.tgz
imlib-1.9.14-i386-1.tgz
libghttp-1.0.9-i386-1.tgz
libglade-0.17-i386-1.tgz
libole2-0.2.4-i386-1.tgz
libxml-1.8.17-i386-1.tgz (Slackware's "l" directory")
oaf-0.6.10-i386-1.tgz

Install the files from the top down which should do the trick.
