This is a common thread these days... I must make a FAQ...

Basically, you must have both the GtkXmHTML libraries, AND the headers
installed for CSCMailInstaller.pl to succesfully compile the Gtk::XmHTML
perl module.  These libraries and headers are in TWO packages (if you use
RPM or Debian...) The Libraries are in: gnome-libs and the headers are in
gnome-libs-devel (Using the RPM naming scheme.. I know they are split
similarly in Deb but I do not know the naming conventions for Debian.)

BOTH must be installed for the XmHTML perl module to compile...  the
files to check for are:

$prefix/include/gtk-xmhtml/gtk-xmhtml.h
$prefix/lib/libgtkxmhtml.so
$prefix/lib/libgtkxmhtml.so.1
$prefix/lib/libgtkxmhtml.so.1.0.1

Once you have these files, re-run CSCMailInstaller.pl and it should
successfully compile the Gtk::XmHTML module. (or you can cd
~/cscmailbuild/gnome-perl/GtkXmHTML and do perl Makefile.PL; make; make
install as root)
