If you're using the [[Bash Startup Files]] then run the commands below. Otherwise make sure that the values you want are properly set.
 
 
==Installation Strategies==
 
 
If you're committed to GNOME as your desktop, you will likely install it in the /usr hierarchy.  If less committed, or you prefer to install GNOME in an easy to remove location, the /opt hierarchy may be more suitable.
 
 
== Installing Gnome into /usr ==
 
 
Create and addition to the [[Bash Startup Files]]:
 
 
cat > /etc/profile.d/30-gnome.sh << "EOF"
 
# Begin /etc/profile.d/30-gnome.sh
 
 
export GNOME_PREFIX=/usr
 
 
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS+:}/etc/gnome/xdg"
 
 
# End /etc/profile.d/30-gnome.sh
 
EOF
 
source /etc/profile
 
 
== Installing GNOME into /opt ==
 
 
Create a link from gnome-2.6.16 to gnome to make upgrades and changes in the future easier:
 
 
install -dv -m755 /opt/gnome-2.6.16 &&
 
ln -sf gnome-2.6.16 /opt/gnome
 
 
Even though the env variables are refering to '''/opt/gnome''', '''''GNOME_PREFIX''''' should still be set to '''/opt/gnome-2.6.16''' as that's where GNOME is going to be installed to.
 
 
=== Non-Multilib ===
 
 
Create an addition to the [[Bash Startup Files]]:
 
 
cat > /etc/profile.d/30-gnome.sh << "EOF"
 
# Begin /etc/profile.d/30-gnome.sh
 
 
export GNOME_PREFIX=/opt/gnome-2.6.16
 
 
export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/gnome/bin"
 
 
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH+:}/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig"
 
 
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${XDG_DATA_DIRS}${XDG_DATA_DIRS+:}/opt/gnome/share"
 
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS+:}/etc/gnome/xdg"
 
 
# End /etc/profile.d/30-gnome.sh
 
EOF
 
source /etc/profile
 
 
Add a new entry to /etc/ld.so.conf for the libraries that GNOME is going to install:
 
 
cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF"
 
# Begin GNOME addition to /etc/ld.so.conf
 
 
/opt/gnome/lib
 
 
# End GNOME addition
 
EOF
 
 
== Multilib ==
 
 
Create an addition to the [[Bash Startup Files]]:

# Begin /etc/profile.d/30-gnome.sh

export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/gnome/bin"
 
 
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH32="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32+:}/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig"
 
export PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32+:}/opt/gnome/lib32/pkgconfig"
 
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH64="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64+:}/opt/gnome/lib64/pkgconfig"
