No idea, sorry.

It says you don't have a windowmanager installed which seems unlikely,
but maybe you don't.  If you don't I would recommend either Sawmill,
WindowMaker, or Enlightenment.

You need gdk-pixbuf, preferably 0.6.0.

You need gtk+ that is above 1.2.2.  I would suggest upgrading to 1.2.7

You need the Gnome XML library.

You can get all of these packages from ftp.gnome.org except the window
manager.  Have fun with Gnome!
