CVS compilation problem on RH 7.3?

[Stephane Paltani]

Hi *,

I have just upgraded (hopefully!) to RedHat 7.3, and I tried to
recompile XFce, which I just downloaded with CVS (xfce-stable).

Compilation failed with the following message:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2
-I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-1.0

This piece of code has not been changed since the last time I installed
Xfce (3.8.14c) on RedHat 7.2, and it worked fine at the time.
Compiler is still gcc 2.96.

Any idea what could cause this problem? Anybody succeeded in compiling
XFce on RedHat 7.3?

Thanks,
Stephane
