compiling gtk+-2.4.1 on a alphaev67-dec-osf5.1

[Henrique de Melo Jorge Barbosa <hbarbosa cptec inpe br>]

Dear GTK experts,

I'am new to GTK and I'm having trouble compiling gtk+-2.4.1
on my machine. It is a AlphaStation DS10 runing osf5.1.

It took me some time, but I got gcc, autoconf, automake, awk,
sed, gettext, jpeg6b, ungif, tiff, wget, etc, etc, etc...
runing smoothly. I know it would be better to install
a linux version for this platform, but its a computer
from the university and I'm not root :(((

The problem is for GTK:
I get almost everything compiled ok, but 'make' crashes
while processing modules/ directory. Below is the
output I get when I do:

  cd <gtk-source-dir>/modules/input
  make

Apparently the problem is with the file 'gtkimcontextxim.c'
in the directory gtk+-2.4.1/modules/input/
The first complains are about 'XICCallback' and 'XIC'.
Then a lot of error messages like 'dereferencing pointer
to incomplete type'.

This 'gtkimcontextxim.c' file is the only one in the
whole gtk tree that have the string XIC in it... is XIC
provided by some external library?

Any clue of what is going wrong??

Thanks in advance,

Henrique
