I just had a failure to make gtk+-1.2.7:

System: Solaris 7, SunOS 5.7 Generic sun4m sparc

I previously build 1.0.54 with out any problems on this
system. 

Moments before this failure I successfully built glib-1.2.7.

I am not sure of the version of gawk, but it was build
last June.

I did notice something that I think is a different
problem with the configure for gtk+-1.2.7. I noticed
this
   checking for perl5... no
   checking for perl... perl
which concerns me as my perl is version 5.005_03

Thanks.
