The gnumeric package that you installed wasbuilt against an older
version of gnome-print.  Given that you've successfully installed
gnome-print from source you might as well install gnumeric 0.71 from
source too.  That will link against the version of gnome-print you
just installed and your life will be smoother.

Trying to install a mixture of packages and source is tricky.
Unless you know exactly what you are doing I would reccomend using
only packages or only source.  Using both has all the problems of
building from source, plus the additional headache that you need to
know how the packages are installing things.

Good Luck
