Actually, that's NOT what the error below is saying.  The error below
says that it cannot find the /symbol/ gtk_html_print in the library.
On my system gtk_html_print is prototyped in:

   /usr/include/libgtkhtml-3.8/gtkhtml/gtkhtml.h

This error is a LINKER error, not a COMPILER error.  This means that
gtk_html_print is declared in the header file but it cannot find
the library.

Oh REALLY?  If gtk_html_print weren't declared somewhere then the
compile would've blown out MUCH earlier..  Oh, unless you have
error-on-warning disabled, which you would if you're building from
the tarball and don't explicitly --enable-error-on-warning.

Complain to Ubuntu.   Unfortunately there's just not much we can
do right now if GtkHTML removed printing capability.
