gnome-utils does not compile

[Bill Day <billday bellatlantic net>]

I am trying to compile gnome-utils from cvs so that I can work on the
logview documentation.  I am using the following commands in bash on
RedHat 7.1 with Ximian Gnome:

./autogen.sh --prefix='gnome-config --prefix' --sysconfdir='gnome-config
--sysconfdir'

make dist

The compiler quits with the following error messages:
.................................................................................. done.
688 translated messages, 43 fuzzy translations, 88 untranslated messages.
.................................................................................. done.
528 translated messages, 113 fuzzy translations, 178 untranslated messages.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
