[ale] Switching from KDE to Gnome

[ringo]

That makes way more sense. I went into yast and did a search for gnome,
there are a gazillion things listed. How do I know which ones I need to
install? I installed everything with the word development in it, or
anything that looked like it might have anything to do with, but when I
try to compile a sample program from the book, the first error I get is
"gnome-config" : command not found. Then errors about gnome.h etc. Is
there a path I need to set?
Thanks
Ringo

As previously mentioned, you don't have to run Gnome to use the Gnome
libraries.  Just install the complete Gnome system including development
libraries.  It's all onthe DVD/CDs that come with SuSE.  Just run
YaST:Install/Remove Software.

Well, first of all, you don't have to switch windowing environments to
use 
Gnome-GTK. If you have everything installed properly, you can use any
Gnome 
application while KDE is running. And the reverse is also true.
