Re: Need help to build Gnote

Hm.  I'd suggest starting again from a clean tree.  In other words:

- If you cloned the Gnote sources using git, run 'git clean -fxd' 
(warning: this will clobber any files you've added or changed) and then 
run './autogen.sh' and 'make'.

- If you downloaded a tarball, I'd unpack the tarball into a fresh 
directory, then run './configure' and 'make' there.

Does this help, or lead to the same error message?
