To tell whether your Linux machine needs gnome-lib, try compiling it without it first. If compilation fails during wvware, then you need gnome-lib.

   - You will need to enable the Administration pages if you want access to them. Do so by editing your Greenstone installation's ''etc/main.cfg'' file. Change the ''status'' field value from ''disabled'' to ''enabled''. In that case, you may also want to change the admin password for the Adminstration pages. Use a DOS prompt to run: ''gsicontrol.bat configure-admin'' which will allow you to (re)set the password for username ''admin'' (the default admin password is the same as the username).
