You can try to force configure to look for libgnomeprint version 2.3.1 instead 
of
2.4.0. To do so you will have to obtain the code from the CVS repository, see
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xlog/ , and change configure.in:

pkg_modules="gtk+-2.0 >= 2.2.0 libgnomeprint-2.2"

to:

pkg_modules="gtk+-2.0 >= 2.2.0 libgnomeprint-2.2 >= 2.3.1"

After that you have to execute autogen.sh, which will automatically execute the
configure script. The bad news is that printing from xlog may become broken if 
xlog
really requires version 2.4.0 of libgnomeprint - the rest of the program should 
work
fine.
