guile-gtk compile problem

[Ricardo Muggli <ricardo muggli mankato msus edu>]

When trying to compile the guile-gtk distributed with GNOME 0.8 it errors
out at this point:
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
configure: error: can not run ./config.sub

could someone please point me to some documentation or give me some hints
as to what I am doing wrong?

I didn't apply the gtk-interp.patch that came with gnome-0.8 because the
patch didn't match up well with gtk+971025. Is my problem that I didn't
apply the patch and if so is there a patch against gtk+971025?

The system I'm using is Debian 1.3.1, gnome-0.8, guile-1.2, gtk+971025

thanks,
