My gcc version is 3.2.2

Folloing some discussio I had with Guido

I found that PKG_CONFIG_PATH wasn't being set, so I set this to
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig as he suggested. However investgation revelaed
there were no pkgconfig files of any sort in thiat directory anyway. I
have tried combinations of copying/linking directories to there. and
also tried including /usr/lib/pkgconfig and user/include and all sorts
of other variants into the path. All of these efforts make no
difference.

The actual error message I get is as below. I had to copy these lines by
hand, as if I try to copy directly from the window it immediately
closes.

gcc -I. -I/home/terry/OroboROX-0.9.5/src  -DXFT  -g -02 
-I/usr/X11R6/include `pkg-config --cflages glib-2.0 `    -c -o main.o
/home/terry/OroboROX-0.9.5/src/main.c

In file included from /home/terry/OroboROX-0.9.5/src/main.c.:55:

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:52: parse error before "_XftFTlibrary"

I find this all very confusing and frustrating. I very much like
OroboROX and was pleased to be able to suggest a couple of small tweaks.
I have no problems with version 0.8.x and don't understand what has
changed.
