Has anyone tried gnome 2.7.1 yet?

[Jebus]

I am compiling it right now, if anyone has it already, I wouldn't mind hearing about it, good or bad.

Hey... you're still around. You've been in my sig for years, I thought you'd dissapeared :D

No, I've not tried it but I wait patiently for your review. I'm still trying to decide which windows manager I want and am open to suggestions.

I've been poking around once and a while still :D Been hanging around genmay mostly.

Here are the new things I have found so far, most of them open with warnings about how they are definately pre-release ;) From what I can tell so far, gnome 2.8 will be pretty damn sweet :cool:

I might have to try going back to Gnome after seeing those screen shots. Will do more research later. It's just hard to give up fluxbox.

[bobcrotch]

ya i agree that looks pretty sweet.

did you build this using garnome? I'm also currently building this using garnome and its gets stuck at nautilus-2.7.1 complaining about esound. I have it installed but it keeps saying

Package esound was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `esound.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'esound' found

I'm running debian so i installed esound thru apt-get. I also tried to install it thru source but that also gave me wierd errors as well. Configure went thru perfectly but during make it gave me this,

esddsp.c: In function `open':
esddsp.c:172: error: `RTLD_NEXT' undeclared (first use in this function)
esddsp.c:172: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
esddsp.c:172: error: for each function it appears in.)
esddsp.c: In function `ioctl':
esddsp.c:373: error: `RTLD_NEXT' undeclared (first use in this function)
esddsp.c: In function `close':
esddsp.c:392: error: `RTLD_NEXT' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [esddsp.lo] Error 1

Any help would be great, thanks.

Portage on Gentoo pretty much did everything for me, all I had to do is download a tarball of ebuilds from http://www.breakmygentoo.net and type in "emerge -u world" :cool:

I would assume that someone out there has the binary on an apt repository that you could use.

yeah same here, currently using the stable version of E. But i would like to give gnome a try, hopefully i can fix this esound error.
