error with libgklayout.so / no icons in enigmail

I am sorry if I should've sent this to one only list, but it appears (to 
me) to be related to both crypto and builds  :-)
This is where make stalled:

After fixing libgklayout.so to be readable for regular user (strangely: 
only that single file was root; and I don't think I messed that myself, 
but it may be related to the install of  enigmail on the previous CVS 
source, which said "successful", bur wasn't, and showed the same 
symptoms as today):

I was now able to install.
But, the enigmail-plugin (which I then went to download) does not work.
It also does not have any of the icons at all (the broken pen etc.).
It's SuSE 9.0. I have been able to install the source just fine for the 
five days up to now.
Here is from my about:buildconfig:
i686-pc-linux-gnu
/usr/gcc-3.2.3/bin/gcc 	gcc version 3.2.3 	-Wall -W -Wno-unused 
-Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -pedantic -Wno-long-long -g -pthread -pipe

/usr/gcc-3.2.3/bin/g++ 	gcc version 3.2.3 	-fno-rtti -fno-exceptions

-Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -pedantic -Wno-long-long -g -fshort-wchar 
-pthread -pipe -I/usr/X11R6/include

--disable-tests --enable-extensions=default,irc --without-system-nspr 
--without-system-jpeg --without-system-zlib --without-system-png 
--without-system-mng --disable-debug --enable-optimize 
--disable-elf-dynstr-gc --enable-crypto
Ow! That's not what I typed in!
I typed:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mozilla --with-system-jpeg=/usr 
--with-system-zlib=/usr --with-system-png=/usr 
--with-libIDL-prefix=/usr/local --disable-debug
I don't have any clues what other info might be needed to solve this.
Thanks!
