Heh. ;-) the cvs version has a couple of booby traps.

This means that configure.in failed to detect gmodule support in glib,
which probably means you needed to run ldconfig or change
LD_LIBRARY_PATH after installing glib. See config.log for details
(probably '-lgmodule: no such file')

rm config.cache after you run ldconfig, then redo gtk configure.

this just means you need a more recent glib.

after all this, to build gtk you need to 'make -k' the first time,
then plain 'make' to finish.
