gnome2 branch does not build on my gentoo box

[Derek Atkins]

Have you read README.cvs?  You should never run configure by hand when building
from CVS.  You should run ./autogen.sh and pass that your configure options.

Your build script looks like complete garbage.  Run:

  ./autogen.sh [configure options]
  make
  make install

-derek
