Garnome also trys to build stuff that's already installed, and that 
any sane distro would have installed, like libtool (where its 
currently failing, which might have something to do with me using 2.4 
instead of 2.6 kernel. Will upgrade and give it another try, and maybe 
go through the garnome sources and try removing some of the 
unnecessary packages.

a booming voice, He says: "THIS IS A SIGN. USE LINUX, THE FREE UNIX SYSTEM
