You need to install ORBit.  The command that was executed was

	$(ORBIT_IDL) idl/help-browser.idl

Somehow, $(ORBIT_IDL) was empty -- the most likely reason being that
ORBit was not installed when `gnome-core' was compiled.

So, 

	1. Install ORBit

	2. Next, re-configure gnome-core.  Make sure to remove
	    the config.cache in the gnome-core build directory.
	    Then do

		./config.status --recheck
