Fun with Gnome-xml, -perl, extace, etc

[Charles Peterman <peterman eecs tufts edu>]

I am having problems with other packages, but these are the three that
I am currently trying to get working.

The setup:

cvs tree from Jan 13, 5pm

SuSE 6.0 Beta
gcc from egcs-2.91.60 egcs-1.1.1 release (this really helped get more
             compiled)
gsl-0.4   (latest copy I could find)
2.2pre5 kernel

Some of the failures are from function prototypes not matching, others I
am trying to find.  One of my housemates install RH5.2 and that dispelled
most of the errors.  I being masochistic and trying to get it to work
completely on SuSE.  If anyone has found solutions to the problems listed
below, please email me.  If you are working on them yourself, email me.
If you just wish to snicker at my misfortune, mail /nev/dull.

I am also getting a persistent "locales not supported" warning.

anyway, it bugs out in the following manner.
