So I'm not the only one trying to compile this under Solaris.  I just
commented gnome-calculator out of the Makefile.  (It's useless to me
anyways, I only use RPN.)

The only other problem I've hit so far is that mico hard codes the
path to the build tree in the Makefiles, so I can't build on one
system and do the make install on another.
