RH 5.2 woes: Gtk-- 10.0.x

[Robert_Gasch/PeopleSoft peoplesoft com]

Hi,

I just upgraded my machine to RH 5.2 (from RH 5.1, gtk-- 0.9.20). Since
then unfortunateley, I
haven't been able to get any version ot GTK-- to compile. I relpaced the
default installed
compilers (gcc 2.7.x, egcs 1.0) with both the C and C++ verison of egcs
1.1b. The compilers
seem to work OK but the GTK-- compiles keeps breaking. So in despair I
downloaded the
latest gtk--, 0.10.1. Unfortunateley this one doesn't even get through
configure (see log below).

Is this my machine/installation or some error in the configure scripts? If
anybody
has already fought with RH 5.2, I would appreciate some pointers/tips ...

Thanks
--> Robert
