And what's error? You get the fail by the 'make'? Is the work directory in 
there?

And what's error again? It doesn't matter if openh323 and pwlib are 
installed, gnomemeeting won't build unless you don't touch the 'make 
clean'.. The openh323 and pwlib have to be built without 'make clean' 
first to get gnomemeeting's build success.

I have done install Gnome 2.4 on the clean system and it went well. Also, 
I even upgrade and it went well.
