Neither gnomevfs nor libgconf are dependencies of the original package. I guess something has changed during the transition to gnome3. But I can't figure this out myself.
Any clues?
you need lib32-gconf and lib32-gnomevfs
I was not clear enough. I know that this seems to be the answer to the compile problem. But these two packages are _no_ dependencies for the original libgtkhtml in extra. Why are they needed for the lib32-version? Harvey
