Compiling problems on Debian

[Rob Naccarato <rob naccarato sheridanc on ca>]

I've recently tried to install gnome on my Debian box (following the
order in the Tarball installtion document) and everything compilies until
I get to mc-4.5.29.  It stops here:

cc -c -I..  -I./.. -I../slang  -I./../vfs -I./../slang -I..
-DBINDIR=\""/usr/local/bin/"\" -DLIBDIR=\""/usr/local/lib/mc/"\"

gcorba.c:31: parse error before `POA_GNOME_FileManagerWindow'
gcorba.c:31: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
gcorba.c:35: parse error before `}'
...

I've tried reconfiguring it with --disable-nls and other stuff but it
always fails here.  I then decided to skip this package and attempt
gnome-network, gnome-admin, etc. but those failed as well.

(Hm, maybe my patched slack machine wasn't so bad afterall...)
