Ok. You need GConf2-devel. It's a pitty that gtranslator doesn't build on 
RH8 though. I remove the other ones.

In the future, the aim is that I build packages on a real basic 
build-environment and that the dependencies should suffice to get it 
build. If it's not, I have to add those. This will make those 
Build Requirements being better maintained and strict.

I always started from 0, but a lot of people start from 1. It doesn't 
really matters, it only means that my packages are sooner upgraded by 
someone else's, so it's not in my advantage ;)
