Compiling sawfish on Solaris 8

I rencently installed the GNOME 2.0 Beta2 package from Sun and I am
now trying to compile sawfish-1.1a-gtk2 and I have not been very
successfull.

Has anyone been successful running sawfish as a WM with GNOME 2.0
Beta from Sun? I tried the sawfish mailing list but it's dead.

Take note this Solaris 8 system use to run sawfish 1.0.1 with a
batch of home compiled GNOME 1.4 packages. After installing the Sun
packages, I re-compiled and installed:

   gmp-4.1
   librep-0.16.1
   rep-gtk-0.16

It went well. Now that I'm trying to compile sawfish-1.1a for
gtk-2.0, I'm running into issues:

During the ./configure:

    checking for rep-gtk libglade wrapper... no
    configure: WARNING: Can't load rep's libglade wrapper, not building themer
    checking for rep-gtk GNOME wrappers... no
    configure: WARNING: Can't load rep's gnome wrappers

During the make:

    SAWFISHLISPDIR=. SAWFISHEXECDIR=../src/.libexec SAWFISHDOCFILE=../DOC ../src/sawfish --batch --no-rc compiler -f compile-batch sawfish/wm.jl
    set -e; for d in sawfish/wm; do \
    SAWFISHLISPDIR=. SAWFISHEXECDIR=../src/.libexec SAWFISHDOCFILE=../DOC ../src/sawfish --batch --no-rc compiler -f compile-lib-batch $d; \
    done
    (compiling sawfish/wm/util/workarea.jl)
    (compiling sawfish/wm/util/with-output.jl)
    (compiling sawfish/wm/util/window-outline.jl)
    error--> (file-error "No such file or directory" "sawfish/wm/util/x")
    make[1]: *** [lisp] Error 10
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cgagnon/src/SunOS5.8/sawfish/sawfish-1.1a-gtk2/lisp'
    make: *** [all] Error 1

Does anyone have experience with this problem? I'm desperate for a
Solution as I CANNOT stand using metacity anylonguer.

If I cannot use sawfish with the GNOME 2.0 env, I'll go back to 1.4.

Thanks.
