It's probably not, but what the hey ;)

You forgot to mention essential details like
* what distro are you running ? (If it's LFS, don't try to cover that fact
  up)
* what machine ?
* what compiler ?
* what are you compiling from ?
* are you experienced ?

either you don't have glibc development files installed (notably, the 
langinfo.h or something equivalent), or ve-misc forgot to include it.
You can check both cases yourself and let us know if ve-misc.c doesn't 
include it.

deflate and deflateEnd should be defined in zlib.  Check if 
libgnomeprint's configure was able to pick up libz and you have the zlib 
development stuff installed.

same issue as the first, you might not have libintl.h installed from 
glibc-devel.

gnome hackers, any idea why configure isn't checking this ? If it really 
isn't, I'm willing to add these checks in.

That looks easy, you don't have rep-gtk installed ;)
