1.1.1 is outdated right now anyhow...

You will probably have to use whatever gtk-version was the active one at
the time those gnome-releases were active... 1.1.x is development, and
breaks the api every now and then..

I'm compiling GTK/Gimp/Gnome out of cvs on Debian 1.3/libc5 boxes
without any problems.. (other than it takes time on p100's and eats
precious disk 8) (In gnome, I've only tried to compile gnome-utils,
gnome-libs and the control-center thingie from gnome-core, but without
problems)
