Mmmm... I hadn't realized that this might have something to do with the
compatibility libraries I installed a week ago. They installed well, and
I have googleearth running, but they may have broken compilation in 64
bit mode. I also received the following:

/usr/include/glib-2.0/gio/gioenums.h:561: error: âGLIB_SYSDEF_AF_INETâ
undeclared here (not in a function) 
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gio/gioenums.h:562: error: âGLIB_SYSDEF_AF_INET6â
undeclared here (not in a function) 

And I can't seem to find a definition of those macros anywhere (not even
in the glib source tree).

I have no clue as to where to start looking for either issue. Or where
best to search for help :(
