[ale] Compiling VIM with gui option on RH8

[Bill Hamilton]

Anyone running GNU/Linux Red Hat 8.0 and have tried to compile VIM with 
the GUI option.  I don't know why they ship the binaries without 
compiling the GUI into the editor (propbably because you don't know what 
GUI the person is going to pick and you want vi working on the system) 
but they ship the source.  The "configure --enable-gui" seemed to work 
just fine but compiling from either the SRPMS or source download from 
vim.org produced the following.  I've had my head in Java  (and 
Microsoft crap) for the past year or two so my C/C++ is a little rusty. 
 I've never had this problem (output below) on any previous dist (since 
4.2) of RH.  Can't find anything on it on the web either.  Strange.
