R help - May 1999 - 0.64.1 w/Gnome compile error

I get this when I build --with-gnome:

make[1]: Entering directory `/storage/build/R-0.64.1/src/include'

Is this a problem or a result of my running the lastest and greatest version
of GNOME?

I'm on Solaris 2.6 sparc, compiling with egcs 1.1.2.

It's a problem... possibly with gnome, though. I'm not going to try a
compile at this moment (although I do have access to Sol2.6, there's
no gnome on that machine), but the offending lines read:

    25  extern char *dcgettext(const char *, const char *, const int);
    26  extern char *dgettext(const char *, const char *);
    27  extern char *gettext(const char *);
    28  extern char *textdomain(const char *);
    29  extern char *bindtextdomain(const char *, const char *);

Errors like the ones you're getting generally comes from having
dcgettext() and friends previously defined as macros. This doesn't
seem to be happening anywhere in the R sources, so I'm suspecting
gnome.h... 

If you run the exact same gcc command but add the -E flag, you'll be
able to see exactly what the C preprocessor is doing to your code.
