Sorry, we're in a slightly broken state right now, as you say. Either we (a) fix things so that it's still possible to use gtksourceview-1.0 (without printing support), and to use the bundled version of gtksourceview-1.0 as a fallback, or (b) we remove support for gtksourceview-1.0 altogether and adjust configure.in to insist on gtksourceview-2.0. I'm inclined towards (b), but I'd be OK with (a) for gretl 1.9.6, at least.
