Hmm.  I didn't realise that you were trying to compile libglade-0.17.  I 
assumed that since you said you had gnome 2.0 that you would be talking 
about libglade-2.0 (which is already installed on your system if you 
have gnome2).

To compile the previous stable version, you need gtk+ 1.2 (which you 
seem to have) and libxml-1.x (not 2.x).  If you want gnome support in 
the old libglade, you will need gnome-libs-1.x (and its dependencies). 
 For the gettext problem, you may need to adjust your path so that the 
GNU gettext utilities (xgettext, etc) get found before the solaris versions.

James.
