RE: [java-gnome-hackers] problems compiling the code

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I would suggest working off of the java-gnome cvs instead
of the 2.5.5 release.  There are numerous fixes that have
been included and this is also where the fun is ;)  If you
get the latest code it should also find the libgcj jar file.

As far as your gtk/gnome environmen, you will need to stay
very close to the gnome and gtk head.  I would suggest
using a build tool like jhbuild or garnome to get current.
