Gnome 2

I'm using Red Hat 7.3 with Gnome 1.4 which does not support Arabic. The new version, Gnome 2 supports Arabic.

I downloaded it a couple of months ago, a total of 60 files.

The steps for uncompressing and installing the Gnome2 files took a LONG time.

So I wrote this shell script to automate the process. If you have downloaded Gnome 2 files, can you please test this script and tell me if it works or not.

The shell script does NOT fix errors. If there are any errors, you have to fix them and then run the script again. The shell script continues from where it stopped last time; it does not restart from the beginning.

Save the scrip and call it: g2i

You can download Gnome2 from here:

السلام عليكم

لونر اعتقد لو بدلت السطر
./configure;make;make install

الى

./configure && make && make install

يكون افضل , لانه راح يتوقف في اي خطوه من هذي الخطوات الثلاث اذا واجه فيها اي مشكله

انا عني ما جربت اركب جنومي من السورس نفسه لاني سبق ان جربت تركيب الكي دي اي 3 من السورس و ركب لكن واجهت مشاكل عديده مع البرامج

على اي حال شكرا على الموضوع
