Problem compiling Gnome-Core-1.2.4

["Douglas G. Phillips" <csdgp eiu edu>]

I am trying to compile gnome-core-1.2.4 sources on a SuSE 6.4 Linux
system.  I have downloaded the latest sources from the ftp site.
Everything compiles just fine till I get to gnome-core.  I get the
following errors when compiling:

gnome-hint.c:119: structure has no member named 'root'
gnome-hint.c:121: structure has no member named 'root'
gnome-hint.c:126: structure has no member named 'root'

Below is a sample of the section of code that is causing the problem.

static void
read_hints_from_file(char *file)
{
	xmlDocPtr doc;
	xmlNodePtr cur;
	doc = xmlParseFile(file);
	if(!doc) return;

	if(!doc->root ||
	   !doc->root->name ||
	   strcmp(doc->root->name,"GnomeHints")!=0) {
		xmlFreeDoc(Doc);
		return;
	}

	for(cur = doc->root->childs; cur; cur = cur->next) {
		char *str;
		if(!cur->name || strcmp(cur->name,"Hint")!=0)
			continue;
		str = get_i18n_string(doc, cur, "Content");
		if(str) {
			hintlist = g_list_prepend(hintlist,str);
			hintnum++;
		}
	}

	xmlFreeDoc(Doc);
}

Thanks in advance.
