Problems compiling At-spi

[Adam Myrow <amyrow midsouth rr com>]

Hi.  I recently obtained Gnome, and am trying to get the latest version of 
AT-SPI to build.  This is because I want to build the Java Access Bridge, 
and it is not building because it requires at least version 1.7 of AT-SPI, 
and I have version 1.6.6.  This was the version included with Gnome as 
downloaded from http://gsb.sf.net.  Since Slackware 10.2 dropped Gnome, 
this was the version suggested.  In any case, I was able to get 
Gnopernicus 1.0 to build on it, and things seem to be working to varying 
degrees.  Building the newer 1.7.4 of AT-SPI, however, is failing

First, during the "./configure" process, I am getting the following 
warnings.

configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xevie.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xevie.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xevie.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xevie.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xevie.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xevie.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists.  ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##

I've never encountered this sort of warning before.  The header is indeed 
present, and I can't find any problems with it.  Despite the warnings, the 
configure runs to completion.  When I try to run "make," it fails with a 
bunch of errors about undeclared functions.  Usually, when I encounter 
this, there is an error earlier about a missing header file, but not this 
time.  The errors are below.

accessible.c: In function `spi_init_role_lookup_table':
accessible.c:126: error: `ATK_ROLE_ENTRY' undeclared (first use in this function)

The version of Gnome I am using is 2.12.1.  Gnome-speech is 0.3.9, and 
Gnopernicus is version 1.0, compiled from source to enable Brltty support. 
The X11 system is Xorg version 6.8.2.  Any suggestions as to what I should 
try next?  Thanks.
