I have the same problem on AMD64 5.4. Since it appeared (29th Dec 2005), I upgraded to 6.0. This did not change anything! I am still waiting for some answer. Unfortunately, I don't have much time try and find a solution. I did try recompiling libgsf, with no changes. I've already tried contacting one of the maintainers, but no solutions were found at the time. Maybe you could contact them, and see how to solve the problem which seems to be just a compilation issue. -- Lallouet Nicolas Epita - SIGL 2007
