On what OS are you running this? And what version? Those are
important.

./configure --enable-something-I-forget (which you can find
from the gnome-libs tarball README or ./configure --help) used
to fix something related to this. I don't have 1.4 around to
check right now. 

Please note someone from Sleepycat contacted me to point out
that the FAQ entry (for Gnome 1.2) is badly wrong on the question
of this one. It might have vanished already by the time you
read this, but I think not; I think it needs kicking to 
regenerate from cvs.
