What are the errors you recieve, if any?
Have you downloaded the development packages? (usually known as 
libgnomeprint-devel and such like). If you're trying to compile on a 
debian based machine, you can simply type "apt-get build-deps gnumeric" 
as root, and this should download all packages you need to compile Gnumeric.
I don't remember exactly the packages you need to compile Gnumeric, but 
try checking the website, and it should have an updated list.
If you get specific errors after downloading the -devel packages, the 
list should be able to help you muddle through.
