gbdfed compile error

Hello, I am trying to install gbdfed. Doesn't compile both from AUR and from manual code. I have GTK2 so I don't know what the issue may be.

Here is a paste of the error.

Ideas?

Re: gbdfed compile error

I recently ran into this problem.  The gbdfed webpage at http://www.math.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/Software/gbdfed/ contains the following notice:

NEWS

   1. [18 November 2010] COMPILATION ALERT: To compile gbdfed with GTK+ 2.22, please remove the *_DEPRECATED flags from the CFLAGS line in the Makefile.
   2. [18 November 2010] Version 2.0 of gbdfed is in progress. This version will only be compatible with GTK+ 2.9* and up and use cairo for rendering.

I removed all *_DEPRECATED flags from Makefile.in and the gbdfed source was able to build.  However, I'm finding gbdfed is prone to segfaulting.  I'm not sure if this instability is related to the recent compilation issues.  The live journal post at http://thristian.livejournal.com/90017.html also mentions gbdfed being unstable, so perhaps it's something unrelated.

Re: gbdfed compile error

Ah, many thanks for info. You are also probably the same guy that alerted the AUR. It compiles fine now.
