gnumeric, goffce, libgsf, glib (etc), X, libc, kernel, bootloader. What you need is known as a distribution. Non-hackers generally need binaries, not source code, and the distributions are doing a fine job at supplying that. Moreover, if you use 1.0.5 that would mean your distribution is from early 2002. I am not the least bit surprised that installing a recent Gnumeric on a base that old is a bit of a nightmare.
