Right.  I remember this.  The problem is that 

#define GTK_CTREE_NODE_NEXT(_nnode_) ((GtkCTreeNode *)(((GList
 *)(_nnode_))->next))

It is technically illegal in ANSI C to put casts on the left side of
an =.  (That is, casts do not create an lvalue.  ISO/IEC 9899:1990
S6.3.4.)  Most compilers allow this to work, but not HPUX's.  

Unfortunately, these casts seemed pretty common back when I looked at
things and I don't know a good way to fix the above.  That's when I
gave up.  (I was subsequently moved to DUX, which works fine.)
