[gentoo-dev] Problems emerging gnome-1.4.x apps after emerging gnome2

["José Fonseca" <j_r_fonseca@yahoo.co.uk>]

I don't know if I messed things up. I emerged gnome2 after a clean
gentoo install with gcc-3.1, and everything went fine (except for balsa2 which is
pretty much unstable), but I needed some apps from gnome 1.4, the most
important is galeon.

Trying emerging galeon it fails, saying that it can't find vfs:
  
  checking for GNOME - version >= 1.2.8... yes
  checking for additional GNOME modules...  gdk_pixbuf*** vfs library is not installed
  configure: error: 
  *** GNOME 1.2.8 or better is required.
  *** gdk-pixbuf 0.11.0 or better is required.
  *** gnome-vfs 1.0.1 or better is required.
  *** libglade 0.13 or better is required.
  *** libxml 1.8.14 or better is required.
  *** oaf 0.6.5 or better is required.

But gnome-vfs-1.9.16-r1 is installed. I though that it required the old
version from gnome-1.4.x so I tried to emerge gnome-vfs-1.0.5-r1.ebuild
but it fails:

    gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -DGNOME_VFS_CONFDIR=\"/etc\"
    -DGNOME_VFS_DATADIR=\"/usr/share\" -DGNOME_VFS_PREFIX=\"/usr\" -I..

    from gnome-vfs-application-registry.c:32:
    ../libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-mime-monitor.h:28:27:
    gtk/gtkobject.h: No such file or directory

This is rather strange because gtk-1.2 is installed but
-I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 isn't passed to gcc.

Trying to emerge gnome-core also doesn't work:

  checking for CApplet library... Unknown library `capplet'
  configure: error: Did not find CApplet library, you probably need to
  install control-center first

And there are some apps that depend on this, such as xmms.

I would like to know if it's possible to install gnome-1.4.x stuff after
gnome2 is installed, and how to do it.

Any help would be much appreciated, otherwise I'll have to unmerge all
gnome2 stuff.
