I don't recall having a problem building it; in fact, I installed on a
couple of different machines.  The first one I compiled with GTK3, but
that had a tendency to crash often (at least at first), so I built the
next machine with GTK2.  Other than visually, there doesn't seem to be
much difference between the two in high-level operation (i.e., no config
differences.)  Both of these builds were done this year on 10.1-RELEASE
versions of amd64.
