Comment 33 for bug 83922

ok I ruthlessly exterminated every trace of any previous install of gdesklets . I checked out a new copy of 0.3x from "https://code.launchpad.net/gdesklets" . I ran ./autogen.sh , make , sudo make install . I did not see any errors in any step , I copied the output of the terminal for each step and saved it to a file so I have logs of the build and install . when I try to run it I get.
