Hi all
I am new to the world of GNOME. SO I aplogise for my ignorance in advance.

I am trying to install gdict on GNOME 2.8 on a red hat linux 9 OS using jhbuild.
I have used the command jhbuild buildone -a gnome-utils to execute the autogen.sh script.
I am getting the following messages:
..............

***error during stage configure of gnome-utils : could not configure module ******

Note : I have set $PATH variable to $HOME/opt/gnome2/bin:$HOME/opt/gnome2/libexec:
/opt/gnome2/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/root/bin
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/opt/gnome2/lib
$PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/opt/gnome2/lib/pkgconfig
$ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/share/aclocal"

I have no idea what to do...

Thanks For your time...
