Newbie question: Problem Compiling

[Dream Machine <dream quiknet com>]

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I just joined the list...

When compiling gnome-libs (latest CVS and gnome-libs-0.99.4.tar.gz) I
get the
following error from make:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../gtk-xmhtml/libgtkxmhtml.la',
needed by `htmltest'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

and then if I 'make' again:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../zvt/libzvt.la', needed by
`zterm'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

and so on. If I continue to 'make', eventually it gets through all of
them.  I was running make
with -j2 to run two concurrent compile processes to use both CPUs, and
thought this might
have been the problem, so I tried starting over with 'make -j1' but no
dice.

If I try install what make finally produces, I can run 'panel', but not
gnome-session, because one
of the libraries is messed up:

[eric@dream eric]$ gnome-session
SESSION_MANAGER=local/dream:/tmp/.ICE-unix/25435,tcp/dream:2259
Unable to connect to server port 35091
gnome-session: error in loading shared libraries
/usr/local/lib/libgnomeui.so.31: undefined symbol:
gdk_imlib_set_cache_info

Have I totally screwed things up here?   Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
