does your gtk have the xpm pixbuf module built & available in
/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-loaders ?

How do I check that?  A simple ls gives:
pylos CV # ls -l /etc/gtk-2.0/
total 8
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  487 Jun  8 17:07 gdk-pixbuf.loaders
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1626 Jun  8 17:07 gtk.immodules

Is gdk-pixbuf.loaders the right file?

OK, I updated a lot of other gnome components, including:

startup-notification-0.8
gnome-desktop-2.10.0
eel-2.10.0
librsvg-2.9.5
gnome-games-2.10.0
gnome-menus-2.10.0
gedit-2.10.3
gnome-session-2.10.0
gnome2-user-docs-2.8.1

and now gnumeric 1.4.3 emerges cleanly.  So I guess the new version must have
needed the updated version of one of these other packages in order to compile?

Also, sorry about Bug 95985 -- I created it accidentally by hitting the "back"
button at the wrong time!

(In reply to comment #4)

The above list should also include:

bash-3.0-r11
readline-5.0-r2
guile-1.6.7
libcroco-0.6.0
gettext-0.14.4

i believe this was a local problem in the first place and my suggestions were on
the right track. I do not see how any of the upgraded gnome libs could influence
this.
