Redhat 9 and gnome-pilot-0.1.71

["Douglas Liming" <Douglas Liming sas com>]

Hello Everyone:

Sorry to bother you with what will more than likely be a really newbie question, but I was working through rebuilding palm pilot interface using David Desrosier's website http://howto.pilot-link.org/evosync/db.html, and everything was working great until I got to building the new gnome-pilot.

I did the following command:
[liming vader gnome-pilot-0.1.71]$ gnome-config --prefix
/usr
[liming vader gnome-pilot-0.1.71]$ ./configure --prefix=`gnome-config --prefix` --with-pisock=/usr/local --with-vfs --disable-oaf

The output looked as expected and here are the important highlights:

checking "for existance of /usr/local/lib/libpisock.so"... yes 
checking for pilot-link version >= 0.11.4... yes (found 0.11.7) 
checking for gob... /usr/bin/gob 
checking for gob... (cached) /usr/bin/gob checking for gob >= 1.0.10... ok

 
  Configuration :
 
          gnome-vfs    : yes
          network sync : yes
          usb          : yes
          gob          : yes
          pilot-link   : 0.11.7
 
[liming vader gnome-pilot-0.1.71]$

However, this section concerned me:
checking for working ORBit environment... yes
checking for gnorba libraries... yes
checking extra library "capplet"... Unknown library `capplet'
 
Unknown library `capplet'
checking extra library "applets"... Unknown library `applets'
 
Unknown library `applets'
checking for strerror in -lcposix... no
checking for gcc... (cached) gcc

Anyhow, I went ahead and removed the applets line from the Makefile, since I assumed Redhat 9 is using GNOME 2.  And then typed make and got:

Does Redhat 9 have a replacement rpm for 'gnome-core-devel'?  Do I install an older one?  Or is there a 'control-center-devel' one for Redhat 9?  Are both already in there, but included with something else?  Am I headed down the wrong path here?

Sorry for the basic questions, but I think I am really close to getting my palm to work.  

Thank you for you time and attention.

Sincerely,
Douglas Liming
