A quick google of the error finds a couple of possibilities - the ICU library API changed and WebKit didn't follow suit until a little later:

Both the original Slackware snapshot and the later snapshot r45012 bailed out of the rather long compile process at the same spot: WebCore/platform/text/TextBoundariesICU.cpp: 'int WebCore::findNextWordFromIndex' 'void WebCore::FindWordBoundary' Both routines have the problem 'TextBoundariesICU:cpp:39:54: error: cannot convert 'WebCore::TextBreakIterator*' to 'UBreakIterator' in initialization The configure script is happy with the environment. I had to re-file the bug here after I originally filed a bug report which was rejected by https://bugs.webkit.org because it was a 'build error'. I take exception to this, because bad type conversions at the source code level are a coding bug, not a build error. I refuse to fix this myself for several reasons, one of which is not to second-guess what the original programmer had in mind, another is not to attempt to comprehend a design I know nothing about for a one-off project. All I want is a module that builds clean so I can use the damned thing to build something else. Charles F.
