6arms1leg: Give it a shot now. I think I hackishly fixed it in the PKGBUILD.

6arms1leg: looks like it rotted. I'll see if I can find an answer for it.

Aborting...

@mariobl I went ahead and did that, but if I get complaints, I might have to change it back since technically it was up-to-date and working with GTK.

Gtklife compiles with gtk2, too. Please add the switch --with-gtk2 to the configure call and change the dependencies to gtk2.
