that's a build-only dependency, however.  it is not a runtime 
dependency.  at runtime Gnome2::VFS needs only the Glib module, for the 
core binding utilities.

also, you should never run genmaps.pl unless you are one of the binding 
developers.

what versions of everything are you using?  that typemap should be 
generated by Gtk2::CodeGen, and the fact that it is not suggests that 
you have an old version.
