Re: compiling libgnomeprint fails (because of zlib?)

Hi All,

I ran into problems compiling garnome with gcc 2.96 (redhat 7.3)

The build dies at libcroco also.  The problem was that a variable was 
declared after the first statement of a block, which is technically 
illegal in C (maybe not C99? I don't know).  Perhaps this is what is 
happening to you as well?

If it is, watch out for gnome-games (gnomine.c??).

I sent in a bug report for both these and it is fixed in CVS now.

Mike
