[ale] I need some help with libgnomeprint

[James Sumners]

I decided the other day that I would compile Gnome 2.0.2 for the heck of it.
Even if I don't switch from enlightenment to Gnome I would at least like to
have it around so that I can build some Gnome 2 applications.

But I have encountered a problem. When I try to install libgnomeprint the
installer crashes. I know that the debian libgnomeprint-data package has had
this problem so it could be a debian specific issue, but I have not been able to
find any information on it.

I have included the tail end of the strace that I ran. Hopefully that helps. If
anyone knows where I can find some information on fixing this problem I would be
very grateful.

strace ./libgnomeprint-2.0-font-install -r /usr/share/fonts/

All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological
personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the
corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a
condition to which they are quickly addicted. Missionara Protectiva, Text QIV
