Comment 1 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2004-05-01 10:30:27 UTC

Thanks for you report.

I think, that keyword here is Gnome 2.0. Conglomerate is known to work with 2.6,
but Gnome 2.0 is too old, if you can upgrade, please, do it. Also it is not
important, but can you try to build latest version of conlomerate (0.7.13).


If you still want to build conglomerate with your Gnome, please, add
--enable-debug to configure arguments and provide new backtrace. Also provide
exact version of all gnome libraries you have.

Also, it will be useful to see the full build log (gzipped, of course). But
please, don't attach it to bugzilla, instead provide a link, where we can
download it.

Comment 2 John Finlay 2004-05-01 10:39:37 UTC

That's beyond my level of interest to upgrade my system for 2.6.
Probably would be useful to make that a dependency and document it so folks like
me wouldn't waste a lot of time on an unsupported system. Morphon's stuff works
on RH9.0 so I'll use that.

Comment 3 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2004-05-01 10:46:48 UTC

I don't think that Gnome 2.0 is unsupported, we can try to make it work. It is
interesting bug, but I have no abilities to reproduce it, so, we need more
information.

Comment 4 John Finlay 2004-05-02 05:00:07 UTC

OK Looks like it's my fault. The system was running RH 8.0 not 9.0 as I had
thought. I upgraded it to 9.0 and conglomerate now works. I assume RH 8.0 is not
supported. Sorry for the noise. BTW Looks good but is missing too many tags esp.
<programlisting> for my use right now.

Comment 5 Geert Stappers 2004-05-02 13:29:41 UTC

OK Closing this bugreport.
BTW patches against docbook.xds for programlisting are welcome.
(an other bugreport is a good start to get specific request fixed)
