Problems building GC (gnome 2)

Great.  Thank you, Didier.
Based on the error message displayed I was searching for gconf instead 
of GConf.

Not entirely unexpected, I am now getting stuck a little further down 
the road.  The process complains now about libofx:

...
checking for glib-genmarshal... /usr/bin/glib-genmarshal
checking for libofx version >= 0.7.0... found 0.7.0
checking for libofx/libofx.h... checking for libofx...
configure: error: *** Cannot compile test program for libofx library.
Please check config.log for the exact error.

This is what's I found in the config.log file:
