Thanks for the pointer.  I've install the appropriate RPM and the
gnome-config errors are gone.  Now a new message appears:

checking for xmlDefaultSAXHandlerInit in -lxml... yes
Unknown library `print'
checking for gnome_print_context_new in -lgnomeprint... no
checking for gtk_html_new in -lgtkhtml... no
configure: error: Cannot find gtkhtml.  See the README for more info.

I'm afraid I don't know enough about autoconf/automake to determine
where the problem is.

Will do.

Thanks again,

Arne
