xchat-tango Compilation Error

Hi. I did a fresh install of Archlinux and now I'm trying to get xchat-tango.

I get the following error message:

In file included from fe-gtk.c:48:

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: xchat-tango Compilation Error

It's a minor (probably transient) bug in xchat's sources. It's been fixed in CVS, but as you're building 2.8.6 you need to add the following line just before the ./configure command:

sed -i 's/GtkType/GType/' src/fe-gtk/xtext.{c,h}
