Noob problems trying to compile Gnumeric

[Sprintrdriver]

Thanks Jerry.

However, I won't just give up - so I'm sorry if I waste time, but I want to try to figure out if I can do this - or if it somehow is completely impossible, or if it would take eons to guide me through it.

Anyway, I get slightly closer - one error message less now, after installing the gtk-doc-tools using Synaptic:

Code:

configure: error: Your intltool is too old.  You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.

So next one is to upgrade intltool - (I do that tomorrow, now is an important football match I just have to see, bye)
