gnome-common Missing ?

["Met @ Uberstats" <met uberstats com>]

I'm trying to setup the basic layout of an application using Glade-2 and
every time I come across an error right after I run ./autogen.sh.  It
prints me the follow message:

        You need to install gnome-common from the GNOME CVS

What is gnome-common and where can I get it?  I'm running Red Hat 8 and
chose all the options for GNOME development so I'm a bit confused as to
why it wouldn't be there.  

Thanks in advance,
