&gt; &gt; Thanks, I'll dig around in Yast for a while. Here is why I'm talking
&gt; &gt; about switching to Gnome.
&gt; &gt; I'm working on a robot that is controlled by a laptop via the serial
&gt; &gt; port. I'm writing the code in C. I would like to start doing some
&gt; basic
&gt; &gt; graphics so I can draw a mp of where the robot has been. Just grids or
&gt; a
&gt; &gt; 2d array of rectangles, that sort of thing. Since I have a lot of
&gt; stuff
&gt; &gt; already written in C I would rather not switch langs to python or
&gt; &gt; something and have to start over. I have a book called &quot;Beginning
&gt; Linux
&gt; &gt; Programming&quot; That covers TCL, perl, etc. The only thing I have seen so
&gt; &gt; far that is in C if Gnome-GTK. The book says you have to be running
&gt; &gt; gnome to use it. I tried compiling a sample program from a KDE
&gt; terminal
&gt; &gt; window and it could not find things like gnome.h.
&gt; &gt; So, I'm assuming I need to use gnome for this to work, is this
&gt; correct?
&gt; &gt; Is there another easy way to do some easy graphics and Gui stuff? I'm
&gt; a
&gt; &gt; hardware guy, not a programmer so the easier the better.
&gt; 
&gt; You don't actually need to be running gnome, just have it installed. I 
&gt; personally prefer gnome over kde, but since you're knew to Linux, I'd 
&gt; suggest you stick with KDE.
&gt; 
&gt; Open Yast and select the option to install and remove software. Change 
&gt; the filter from 'Search' to 'Selections.'  Here you will find 'Gnome 
&gt; system' which is what you will want to install.
&gt; 
&gt; If you still want to get gnome running to check it out, once you install
&gt; 
&gt; it, you should be able to select it from the X login window.  If your 
&gt; box boots directly to X, not requiring a login, it's a bit more
&gt; involved.
&gt; 
&gt; Let me know if this is the case and I'll provide more info.
