[Evolution] cannot build evolution checked out from CVS

[Kenny Drobnack <kenny jumpline com>]

Hi. I can't seem to get the evolution checked out from cvs to build.  This is on a Slackware 8.0 box with the 
additional libraries I needed to compile the evolution beta 2.  I also have gcc-3.0.1, and autoconf-2.50. Not 
sure if I anything else that would make things go wrong.  So here's what happens. I run ./autogen.sh 
--prefix=/opt/gnome, get a bunch of debugging stuff, a few warnings (available on request) followed by the 
following  nastiness:
