gtk+-2.8.15 make error

[Suhail Naqvi <suhail_naqvi yahoo com>]

Hi,

Although I am a Java developer, I am not a very experienced Linux User. I am using SuSE Linux 10.  I am trying to compile gtk+-2.8.15 which is a dependency  for f-spot-0.1.11.

Make for gtk  fails after compiling for quite some time. Configure completed successfully.

As far as dependecies of gtk are concerned, I have sucessfully compiled and installed the following:
glib-2.8.6, pango-1.10.4 and atk-1.10.3. The JPEG, PNG and TIFF libraries already exist.

At the end of this message I  have included the last few lines of output from make.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks a lot & Regards
Suhail
