Hi Jean & Jeff,

Thanks for the kind welcome.  Here is my first feedback.  When i
configure from the CVS version, i get this:

creating ./config.status
creating test/Makefile
sed: file conftest.s1 line 36: Unterminated `s' command
creating src/Makefile
sed: file conftest.s1 line 36: Unterminated `s' command
creating src/tools/Makefile
sed: file conftest.s1 line 36: Unterminated `s' command
creating Makefile
sed: file conftest.s1 line 36: Unterminated `s' command
creating java-gnome.spec
sed: file conftest.s1 line 36: Unterminated `s' command

What is likely to be the issue?  (BTW, the Makefiles produced are empty
- understandably enough since the sed failed.)  (P.S.  Debugging
autoconf is awful!  :-)


I found the tutorial file, but how can i use it?  I know nothing about
DocBook - i probably don't even have it installed.
