Hi Stephan,

The first four lines are simply a warning; you can ignore them.  I
believe that the last lines are caused by the aven application not
building properly.  This is the graphical viewer for processed survex
data files so you want it it to work.

It may be that you don't have the development versions of necessary
libraries installed.  These are the libraries which the build on my
system running Fedora Core 3 uses (discovered with the ldd command):

glib-1.2.10-15
glibc-2.3.5-0.fc3.1
gtk+-1.2.10-33
libgcc-3.4.3-22.fc3
libjpeg-6b-33
libpng-1.2.8-1.fc3
libstdc++-3.4.3-22.fc3
libtiff-3.6.1-10.fc3
wxGTK-2.4.2-5.1.fc3.rf
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.FC3.13
zlib-1.2.1.2-1

To build it needs the corresponding -devel packages (i.e. glib-devel,
gtk+-devel, ...) installed.  Don't worry about the version numbers
they're likely to be different on a different distro.  On Fedora systems
all the required development packages (apart from wxGTK-devel) are
installed by selecting the development tools bundle, and the Gnome
development bundle in the software install tool -- I don't know what the
equivalent is for SuSE.
