Err.., no it doesn't.., not in this case, that is. I've now installed both openh323 & pwlib, and I still get errors related to this PTlib at the stage where gnomemeeting is to be built.

At this point, is it silly to ask if its not possible to install gnome-2 *without* gnomemeeting? I'd not even heard of / nor used this thing before today, and I'm not interested in it either.

So.., does the above now suggest that in order for me to build gnome2 on this box I should be tracking CURRENT?
