Mondo complilation problem on Slack 12

Hi,
I'm trying to get Mondo rescue on my new slack install.
Mindi works great, but Mondo is giving me problems.

I need gnewt installed to get Mondo going but I keep getting a compilation error:
First I get a note after running config:

Code:

Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lnewt
Writing Makefile for whiperl

And if I ignore it and go ahead with make I get this:

Code:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../.. -I../../include/newt -I../../include/gnewt    -g -O2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -D_REENTRANT -c listbox.c
rm -f .libs/listbox.lo
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../.. -I../../include/newt -I../../include/gnewt -g -O2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -D_REENTRANT -Wp,-MD,.deps/listbox.pp -c  -fPIC -DPIC listbox.c -o .libs/listbox.lo
listbox.c: In function 'listboxEvent':
listbox.c:916: error: label at end of compound statement
make[3]: ***[listbox.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/mondo/gnewt-0.06/src/gtk'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/mondo/gnewt-0.06'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I google for a couple of days and got nowhere.
Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome.

I do have gtk+-1.2 and gtk+2 installed.

The problem is in file /root/mondo/gnewt-0.06/src/gtk/listbox.c at line 916 just like it says. This is what is there

Code:

default:
    /* keeps gcc quiet */
    }
    break;

It should be

Code:

default:
    /* keeps gcc quiet */
    break;
    }

Edit the file, move the curly brace } after break; and see if that works. Just execute make after you edit and save, there's no need to reconfigure.

Thanks.
I did try it but then I keep getting nagged about a whole bunch of other errors of the same kind but on different levels. I went down to 4 and they kept coming so I decided to not go any further, since I'm not a coder.
