The problem is twofold, really: it's the makefile that should satisfy the dependencies, but it doesn't; and evidently nobody ever bothered to test the bits to see whether they would build even when someone fills in the many gaps by hand. Although giomm is installed by glibmm, and I've installed the latest-and-greatest glibmm, that didn't help: it also wanted a newer gio, which is installed by linux-base-c6. Now I've upgraded that, but the build still fails because it doesn't like the gio bits installed by c6. And c6 wanted 2 scratch files mounted, so I did that too, and again rebooted to get everything on the same page. But now, after doing all that, I find that one of those changes broke xfce. The terminal emulator won't run: i/o error. Evidently these gtk ports were released untested, which was very unprofessional and did nobody any favors. If the maintainers are too busy to test-and-bless the bits for which they're responsible (I'm not criticising; I can *easily* understand how that could be so!), THE PORTS SHOULD BE STRUCK OFF, NOT DISTRIBUTED.
