The problem is that for some reason, the src/Makefile always is missing the definition of the variable INCLUDES and so the proper path is not setup for the compiler.

I consider this a bug in Mandrake's gnome-- configuration. I think that

gnome-config --cflags gnomemm

should return all include paths necessary to compile a program. You might fix that by hand by editing

somewhere/gnommemmConf.sh
