Oh, just wanted to build a new gnome-media tarball with the gsl from
my RedHat 5.2 CDROM.

How much work is it to make this work with the new gsl?

I think this is an issue for 1.0.1 not for this release - "normal" people
don't have RedHat 6.0 so I'll make a tarball that works with the RedHat 5.2
RPM. We can then fix the problems with the new version later.
