Not exactly a bug but the requirements for the source build of GVD do =
not list
a C++ compiler but it is needed for some of the test case code. Perhaps =
the configure
program could detect that g++ is not installed and not compile that test =
case.
I'd help but ./configure script mods is an area that I have never spent =
any real time on.

Also there is probably an issue with the documentation stuff since you =
need texinfo or
and the dvips tools.

I ran into these when building on Solaris.  No real huge problem to work =
around but it does
mean that a simple ./configure, make,make install will fail
