Gtk2-1.00rc2: make test hangs

[<glen_gibson maxnet co nz>]

Hey people, when I run a "make test" while installing Gtk2-1.00rc2 I get
the following output and it just hangs from there.

root server:/home/glen/downloads/Gtk2Perl/Gtk2-1.00rc2# make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl5.8.0 "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-
e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/00.Gtk2.................ok 4/15

That's as far as it gets.  If I just run a "make install" after cancelling
that, no complaints, however, I go to run a simple "Hello World" app and
it doesn't display it.  Where am I going wrong?

My system is running Slackware 9 with a 2.4.20 kernel and I do have the
Gnome 2.2 desktop environment installed.

Any input appreciated  :)

Thanks,
Glen
