[Deskbar] Problems compiling GNOME-Applets

["Eugéne Suter" <easuter gmail com>]

Hi there!

I'm trying to compile GNOME 2.16.2 to make a downloadable packge for the VectorLinux distribution.
So far the ride hasn't been easy, but I've been getting by with the compiling and dependency tracking up until now by following this Linux From Scratch wiki:

http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Gnome

Their page is very complete and I have had to make very few alterations to the compiler flags to get things going.
Unfortunately, I'm stuck on the GNOME Applets compilation.
I've used the flags that site provides, and even tried all three 2.16 versions (2.16.0, 2.16.1 and 2.16.2), but in any of the cases it always fails when it gets to the GWeather applet.

Here is the error (plus some context):

I'm kinda lost and haven't found a sollution to this problem after scouring Google for hours and posting on forums.
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
