Thanks for the reply, it's a little more than just the *.o files though I
would appreciate just getting gtk and the gdkpixbuf going and not worrying
too much about the rest, which I believe your patch would solve. I found
your patch:

-=-=-=-=-=-

# --- MakeMaker const_cccmd section:
package MY; # so that SUPER works right
sub const_cccmd {
        my $inherited = shift->SUPER::const_cccmd (@_);
        $inherited .= " -o \$@";
        $inherited;
}
package MAIN;

-=-=-=-=-=-

Where in the Makefile.PL files should this be added, at the end? Please
forgive my obvious lack of perl knowledge. And as per your mail, yes a
binary rpm would be easier, but this is a learning experience as well a
slackware doesn't use rpm natively :)
