I got it and tried to compile it, but it gave some errors about some
ctree. At that point I noticed from the web page, that it required the
development version of gnome, so I got gnome-core-SNAP-980622.tar.gz and
gnome-libs-SNAP-980622.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/gnome/snap/,
but the gnome-libs snapshot doesn't contain the configure script, and if I
try to make it from configure.in with the command 'autoconf', running it
it complains:

./configure: syntax error near unexpected token
`AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)'
./configure: ./configure: line 523: `AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)'

How might I get it to configure?

Thanks.
