Dave Peticolas has been helping me out off-list on this problem.  We
already did the hand compilation of that C program. 

Doing that results in:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdk_pixbuf
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 

...and...

ls -l /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf*

gives me:

/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.so.2.0.0

Which led Dave Peticolas to believe that gdk-pixbuf-devel is not installed
because I'm apparently missing:

/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.a
/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.so

I do indeed have gdk-pixbuf-devel installed, however, and I have even
uninstalled/reinstalled to no effect.  For what it's worth the packages I
have are:

gdk-pixbuf-0.8.0-0_helix_1
gdk-pixbuf-devel-0.8.0-0_helix_1

Thanks,
