This document is aimed at people willing to install the official Gnome package on a fresh and default install of OpenBSD 4.8. While several other documents exist, I didn't find a complete one with all the necessary and intermediary steps. So I would like to share this experience with you, if it can make you avoid some hassles. This document tries to be as precise and accurate as possible. However it may not be perfect, and it is of course possible that it does not work in your configuration. That's why I precised that this tutorial applies for a default, fresh installation of OpenBSD. It worked with my system, but your comments, corrections and suggestions are welcome, and this document will be updated accordingly.
