HOWTO

# gnome-icon-theme
# ================
# Slackware 9.0's 'gnome-icon-theme' package includes version 1.0.0, 9.1's
# includes 1.0.9, 10.0's and 10.1's include 1.2.3  As of Slackware 10.2,
# Gnome is no longer included.

# Below I include several different versions, each one for a different
# major release of Gnome, but keep in mind that I only actually use the
# 2.16.x version.  Install hicolor-icon-theme, then the version of
# gnome-icon-theme that matches the version of Gnome that you're using
# (or are installing).

# If you ever want to uninstall gnome-icon-theme, or clean up files from
# an old version before installing a new one, skip down to the bottom for
# instructions.

# Prerequisites (for all versions):
# Perl
# iconv
# gettext
# pkg-config
# hicolor-icon-theme (below)

# Install/update the XML::Parser perl module
su -c "perl -MCPAN -e shell"
o conf prerequisites_policy follow
o conf make_install_arg UNINST=1
install Bundle::CPAN
install XML::Parser
exit
