Thanks.

Tested on ALTLinux.

1. In compilation time errors has not find.
That has not understood the only thing, so the package goocanvas is
necessary or not? If yes, why it is not checked during configure?

2. Also it has not possible to start gcompris. Errors of start (gcompris
-D) and strace in an attached file.

Line of configure:
   ./configure --build=athlon-alt-linux --host=athlon-alt-linux \
         --prefix=/usr \
         --exec-prefix=/usr \
         --bindir=/usr/bin \
         --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
         --sysconfdir=/etc \
         --datadir=/usr/share \
         --includedir=/usr/include \
         --libdir=/usr/lib \
         --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
         --localstatedir=/var/lib \
         --sharedstatedir=/usr/com \
         --mandir=/usr/share/man \
         --infodir=/usr/share/info \
         --disable-dependency-tracking \
         --without-included-gettext --disable-binreloc
