 Thank's Goodness! However. not only in configure; I am recompiling
 gnome-libs-1.0.5 and I had to modify the Makefiles in libgnome
 and libgnomeui. This is the latest error when compiling:

 and I am still trying to fix it.

 This is just to compile the libs, and the similar job for all the
 rest... But I have no time for it, and I have to wait for the new
 releases that fix autoconf.

 Thank you Michael! I hope your patch will be included in all the sources.
