Compiling on Fedora Rawhide

On FC4:

~# rpm -q libgsf
libgsf-1.11.1-2

FTR, David has recompiled the glib/gtk libraries with debugging support
in order to track down some bugs in our code.  I'm fairly sure he's using
the same versions as come in FC4, but his own (debug-capable) versions.

Frankly I think he should've just grabbed the SRPM and run rpmbuild --rebuild
on it and then installed the new package + the debuginfo package that
would've been built alongside it.

We all want to be able to use the default versions..

My suggestion was a short-term workaround until Andreas got the
g-wrap 1.9 package working.  It was never intended to be a long
term solution.  It was a suggestion to get you working again until
the g-wrap package was fixed.
