Pre-Installation Configuration
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. A third option, which simplifies version changes in the future, would be to install GNOME in a versioned directory and create a non-versioned symbolic link.
Create and Update Environment Variables
Set an environment variable for the prefix destination, if you wish. Option 1:
export GNOME=/usr
Option 2:
export GNOME=/opt/gnome-2.14
Option 3:
install -dv -m755 /opt/gnome-2.14 ln -sv gnome-2.14 /opt/gnome export GNOME=/opt/gnome
If installing GNOME in other than the /usr hierarchy, some configuration changes are needed. If using a symbolic link, replace gnome-2.14 with gnome in the following commands.
Update or add paths in the system or user profile.
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome-2.14.2/bin export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/gnome-2.14.2/lib/pkgconfig export GNOME_LIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/opt/gnome-2.14.2/lib
Add the GNOME library path to your /etc/ld.so.conf then execute ldconfig as the root user.
echo /opt/gnome-2.14.2/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf ldconfig
