I love checkgmail. It does just what I need. I just found out I can now click on a link in the popup notification window to get to it in firefox. Wow. So I download libsexy and gtk2-sexy. I unzip them in desktop folders. I attempt to make them. That does not work. I get a no makefile error (but there is, 2 in fact, for libsexy: Makefile.am and Makefile.in) Now what? I have been with linux for a year, so I am still a noob. There are no instructions, an empty readme file! Which is the good file? (My system is a bit shaky, from playing with it to much.)

I am sticking with Intrepid, on a IBM P4 1.6Ghz netvista.
