Leslie,

You are not really doing anything wrong, except using the wrong source.

The RexxGTK-0.10.0.zip source file downloadable from the Files section in
SourceForge is way out of date.

You need to check out the source using svn directly.  The current source in
svn has been fixed.

The command is:

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/oorexx/code-0/rexxgtk/trunk rexxgtk

which will check out the current source code in to a directory rexxgtk.

Oh, I just looked and SourceForge has added an option to down load a
snapshot:   Download Snapshot
<https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/code-0/9364/tarball?path=/rexxgtk/trunk>

You could probably use that instead of svn.  Although, really, if you are
interested in building from source, I'd advise that you get a svn client
and check stuff out directly from the repository.

Many Linux systems already have a command line svn client installed.  If
not, the client is easy to install on Linux.

I don't think you will have a problem if you use the current code base.

You can look through the current opened bugs and see if there is already a
bug for this the the source file in the files section not building.  If
there is, I would vote for it.  If there isn't one I'd open one.
