FWIW, I occasionally (i.e, twice since August, today being the second
case) run into problems of form that are only corrected by deleting and
reinstalling everything, i.e.:
1) delete my vbs scripts
2) doing a clean install of vbs from cvs
3) then deleting my /gnome/head directory
4) then do a rebuild.sh

In this case, I'd noticed that gnome-xml had quit building for me
lately. I was seeing some errors that didn't make any sense, and rather
than try to make sense of them, I did a reinstall first (which has
corrected the original problem I had).

FWIW, Benny, I'm not sure if my scorched-earth solution would help you
out at all. If you're working from a brand new installation of cvs
stuff, probably not, but if you've been rebuilding it for a while, maybe
it will. Good luck...
