Get the 0.99.3 tarballs from your local mirror.  The 
gnome-core-0.99.2.tar.gz tarball had some serious compile problems.  They
look just like the errors you described.

Looks like you need to install the gnome-libs 0.99.3 tarball first. That
macro was added January 7, so I doubt it was in the 0.99.2 tarball.
