Gnome with slackware

[joshua his house in wauconda il us]

Hello,

Has anyone successfully installed gnome on a Slackware linux system, or a system that
doesn't have gnome packages prebuilt for it? I'm getting the following error while 
compiling gnome-libs and a prebuilt convertrgb for a libc5-based system or an explaination
of the error would be very helpful:

  make[3]: Entering directory `/root/gnome/gnome-libs-0.30/tools/convertrgb'

I just downloaded and installed glib, gtk, imlib, and ORBit without fail. Any help
would be appreciated.
