Hmmm... I think you should be compiling mico *after* gtk+, so that you
can use 'configure --enable-gtk' (in the mico build directory) to get a gtk
compatible mico.

You need a newer version of makeinfo; or more to the point a newer
texinfo.tex (which comes with makeinfo).  I had thought that distributing a
texinfo.tex which matches texi files in the same directory would be enough
here... but gtk+ does supply a good one, so I guess not =(O|

This is a missing (or bad, or duplicated) libz.  I understand Redhat 5.0
ships with 2 libz.so, one of which needs to be removed... check the list
archives for which one; I can't remember.

If you are not running Redhat, then make sure you have libz installed, and
that it supplies these symbols.

You're welcome.

Done.
