RE: [Bug-xnee] Re: gnee and pnee both crashed

[William Bader]

When I have built (or tried to build) other packages on older Fedora systems, I have sometimes built everything from source and installed it under /usr/local, but then you have to be careful to use the pgkconfig files in /usr/local instead of /usr.

On some systems, you can force the installer to ignore dependencies.  2.20.1-0-ubuntu2 is probably compatible with 2.20.0-0ubuntu4.  Usually the API is the same if the first two numbers are the same, so libgtk-2.0-0 will probably work with it if you can force apt-get to install it.

Do you need gnee and pnee?
On my older systems, I can only build cnee.
Does cnee work for you?

I've also asked on linuxquestions.org but they just said "do 'sudo apt-get update' first" and that didn't help.)
