Sorry to be so clueless but gcc doesn't like it;

marx{progs}31% gcc set-icon.c -o set-icon `gnome-config --libs --cflags
gnome`
In file included from set-icon.c:1:
/usr/include/libgnome/gnome-metadata.h:31: syntax error before `typedef'
set-icon.c:3: syntax error before `void'
set-icon.c: In function `set_icon':
set-icon.c:5: warning: passing arg 2 of `gnome_metadata_set' makes pointer
from integer without a cast
set-icon.c:5: warning: passing arg 3 of `gnome_metadata_set' makes integer
from pointer without a cast
set-icon.c:5: too few arguments to function `gnome_metadata_set'
set-icon.c: In function `main':
set-icon.c:11: `stderr' undeclared (first use in this function)
set-icon.c:11: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
set-icon.c:11: for each function it appears in.)
set-icon.c:14: warning: passing arg 1 of `set_icon' makes pointer from
integer without a cast
set-icon.c:14: warning: passing arg 2 of `set_icon' makes pointer from
