Problems building GNUCash 2.2.3

I am trying to build GNUCash 2.2.3 on my Opteron machine which is
running Mandriva 2007.0

I hit some problems with it crashing on startup and searching your
archives I see you advised someone else to get newer versions slib and
guile, both of which I've done apparently without problems

The version of guile is 1.8.4

However when I build GNUCash 2.2.3 after updating slib and guile the
compilation aborts with:

gcc -I../.. -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0

As I don't know too much about scheme, to which the undefined symbols
all seem to relate, I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the
right direction - is it possibly one or more of the other libraries I
need to update? Mandriva are OK in some ways but I absolutely always hit
problems when I want a more up-to-date version of something than what
they supply.

Thanks for any help.

P.S. I also hit a problem building he pixmaps but I commented a bit out
of the Makefile in the pixmaps directory and it seemed OK after that.
The problem isn't there in GNUCash 2.2.2.
