Never start a morning compiling gcompris, it can ruin your day ;)

in gameutil.c, recode  gcompris_load_pixmap so that it looks like this:
  if (!g_file_test ((filename), G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)) {
    char *str;
    g_warning (_("Couldn't find file %s !"), filename);

    str = g_strdup_printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n%s", 
	........

The problem comes from old gcc that cannot accept var declaration after
the fist code instruction.

Good luck,

Bruno.
