Compile of GLIB 1.2.10 fails

[Paul Gargan <pgargan orbism com>]

Hi all,

Running SuSE Linux release 6.4 with a 2.2.14 kernel, glibc 2.1.3

I'm trying to compile release 1.2.2 of The Gimp.

This needs GTK. So I downloaded release 1.2.10 of GTK+

This needs GLIB. So I downloaded release 1.2.10 of GLIB

This won't compile. So I'm seeking your help.

It configures OK, but fails during make. Errors reported are:

I suspect that this is more a GLIBC error than a GLIB error, so perhaps I
should be talking to those people instead. Still, if anyone can offer any insights,
I'd be grateful.

Thanks in advance,
Paul Gargan.
