[gentoo-user] gnome 2.6 won't install

[David Mehler]

Hello,
This is an add-on to my previous post on gnome 2.6 and gentoo.
To recap i am trying to get gnome 2.6 going. The compilation is
failing at gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.6.2 and specifically on the
accessibility guide i'm getting an error 2. At the end of the output i
was told for support a emerge --info would be needed, i have included
it below.
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
Dave.

Gentle remark: are you really expecting for people to find out by
themselves what's the initial thread and problem you're talking about?
Why start a new thread?

The OP was over 3 months ago.  I think a lack of response speaks volumes
compared to responding so late.  It was a thread that was DOA. Why did
you decide to dig it up?

The real reason is that I don't have time to track this list in a per
day, week or even in a per month basis.  I don't think it's a problem
that much.

Is there any reason to not answer, even late?  Some problem are
blocking, some aren't and can be delayed a long time. Who knows?
Even if everything seems to show the problem is solved or turned around,
people usually like to understand what could have happen or have more
clues. I already had such feedback for problems older than one year.

Now, what I was saying is more about "how to make my chances bigger to
have answers in general" than trying to explain "why a lack of
response".

You are absolutely correct.  Please continue with this thread.  We look
forward to your response in a month or so.
