i think, this is a very serious problem and i'm glad not to be the only
one who has met those difficulties. i've found no solution.

the conquence is, that GNOME 1.4 can't be manually compiled on a SUSE 7.2
(i've tried it myself and have got the same error messages) or an a
slackware 8.0 (i've only heart about that; is it really true?)

has ony one a solution for us, any workaround or anything else? i want to
integrate such a discription into the gnome installation guide.
