Adrian,
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these things to me. I just
did not know why we were having a repeat difficult time.
Just as an additional piece of information, of the some 400 students I have
taught, and encouraged to use Gnumeric, to the best of my knowledge, not one
has successfully installed version 1.8.x. I and many others have successfully
installed version 1.9.1, simply because it is highlighted (and a compiled
version) on the "Getting Gnumeric" page. EVeryone else still uses the portable
version 1.6.3, simply because we are able to simply transfer from disk when
needed.
Please understand, my plea is because I want to see success for Gnumeric,
including integration with "R" .If people cannot find the starting blocks, we
cannot grow as we should.
Again, thank you for your effort. Perhaps I will just stick to distributing
Portable 1.6.3 until the formal release for windows is done.
Please express my gratitude to anyone else involved with this wonderful
project. My part is that I can help get it in the hands of thousands of people
in my profession.
Finally, remember, new strings can stretch and go flat. At least that what
happened to my cat-gut violin strings in Jr. high!
