Compiling Gnome under Slackware 3.5

[Andrew White <awhite tig com au>]

Hi

I have just started to install the last source of gnome 0.30 on slakware
3.5. I followed the instructions on the gnome web site
http://www.gnome.org/start/gnometar.shtml and have installed all packages
as mentioned in the correct order
libtool-1.0h.tar.gz
autoconf-2.12.tar.gz
automake-1.3.tar.gz
esound-0.2.1.tar.gz 
gettext-0.10.tar.gz
gmp-2.0.2.tar.gz 
gsl-0.3b.tar.gz 
slib2c0.tar.gz 
guile-1.2.tar.gz 
glib-1.1.3.tar.gz 
gtk+-1.1.2.tar.gz 
imlib-1.8.1.tar.gz 
ORBit-0.3.0.tar.gz 
gnome-libs-0.30.1.tar.gz
libPropList-0.7.1gnome.tar.gz 
libxml-0.30.tar.gz 
libghttp-0.30.tar.gz 
libgtop-0.26.2.tar.gz 
gnome-core-0.30.tar.gz 

Everything compiled ok and installed fine up to here.

When installing gnome-utils I get this error

make[3]: Entering directory
`/usr/local/src/gnome-utils-0.30/mini-utils/gpenguin'
/bin/sh ../../libtool

As far a I can tell libgnomeui.so has
a problem with gettext, yet gettext compiled with no errors and I ran
ldconfig after each package I installed. So Im at a bit of a loss. 

if anyone could help me with this I would be very pleased..

Thanks
Andrew
