A powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment But where do I need to create the link for Trinity to find it? I suspect I will need to create a specific desktop and link in the Arch kdebase package that will solve this issue. I just have to figure out what and where :) Also, kdebase should have pam by default. Is there a command I can run against kdebase to check the compile options? I have no /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config, so we can cross that off the list. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Even if I was able to get the ./configure --help list, how do I know how to translate that into the cmake format. eg.: -DWITH_<NEEDED-OPTION>=ON http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables is a good cheat-sheet, but it doesn't address package specific options. You have another favorite link :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
