JP:
I got this error even with a version of gnome-libs and gnome-libs-devel
greater than 1.2.9. To get configure to run, I had to disable the check
for gnome-libs.

By the way, after this, it still wouldn't compile, because it couldn't
find e-pilot-utils.c. The reason I tried compiling instead of using a
binary package is because I want pilot link support.
