I'm trying to build GNOME (to run a more recent version than 2.16.* on CentOS 5.1) and I keep running into a lot of rather strange problems.
I'm wondering if this might have something to do with my hybrid 64 and 32 bit general environment, so I want to try a pure 64-bit chroot.
I've never done this before, and I'm not entirely sure how to, and I didn't see anything particularly on point, either at centos.org or google. If I missed it, just say where and that should be enough.
Guidelines? Suggestions (other than "go away" or other physically difficult crudities :-)?
Thanks.

Probably the best thing to do is to use mock to build in.
You provide it with some repos and it automatically creates a chroot to build things.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock
That has some instructions, though you should be able to yum install mock.

That doesn't seem to work with the "standard" repositories - is there one in particular where this lives?
I tried downloading a source tarball, but it has dependencies that neither I nor yum recognized....
Thanka.

yum list mock:
Available Packages mock.x86_64 0.6.13-1.el5.centos.1 extras

Hmm, I'd better check my repos and so forth - that did not show up in my yum list....
Is that CentOS extras or KB's or - never mind. I'll just look.
Thanks!
