Well, you got it!!! I had seen other posts talking about rebuilding |
| 17 |
libffi, which I had tried. However I did not try changing versions of |
| 18 |
the library. I now have a working gnome-shell. So now I can start |
| 19 |
poking around and learning how the gnome desktop works and tweaking |
| 20 |
settings to my liking. I did have to downgrade libffi to 3.0.11 in |
| 21 |
order to get things to work. Do you know if there is a bug open on the |
| 22 |
libffi->gnome-shell interaction? If not, I'll open one as this is |
| 23 |
something that needs to be looked at and fixed. If there is one, I'll |
| 24 |
add myself to the CC. |

Thanks for the pointer! |
