Problem Building 2.0.1

[Derek Atkins]

Are you sure you have the full gtk/gnome development environment installed?
I mean you ARE running slackware, which doesn't come with gnome.  Where
did you get your gnome system?  Have you read the Wiki?   Have you
considered switching to a real distribution?
