These errors were a bug in gtk--0.9.16. Get a patch from gtk-- web page
releasenotes, at www.iki.fi/terop/gtk/gtk--.html. (alternative is to
upgrade the C++ compiler, but the patch should be ok too -- 0.9.16 had
things which does not work on old compilers)

(you need to apply it with   
 cd gtk---0.9.16/src
 patch -p0 <foo.patch
)

This means you have old compiler that does not support member templates...
shouldnt matter anything, just some features are disabled...
