Need help compiling ORBit 0.5.7

["Peter O'Shea" <editor oldhousechronicle com>]

I'm trying to compile the various components of Gnome, because
there's no distribution for Solaris 2.6.  I've got gtk, glib,
imlib, xpm, and DB compiled, but am having problems with ORBit.

This is the output I'm getting from make:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link /apps/gnutools/bin/gcc  -g -O2  -o tstidl 
tstidl.o libIDL.la -L/home/poshea/bin/gnome/lib

/apps/gnutools/bin/gcc -g -O2 -o .libs/tstidl tstidl.o .libs/libIDL.so

Current working directory /home/poshea/bin/gnome/install/ORBit-0.5.7

Some background info: this is an Ultrasparc running Solaris 2.6,
and since I'm in a corporate environment and don't have root
privileges, I'm using --prefix=/home/poshea/bin/gnome for
everything.

Any help that will get Gnome running for me so I can ditch
Common Desktop Environment 1.2 will be very much appreciated.
