Looking at the errors you are trying to create a GnomeProgram (and I
assume your GladeXML file contains GNOME widgets) so you will need to
initialise GNOME.  Something like:

	GnomeProgram *program;

	program = gnome_program_init (PACKAGE, VERSION,
				LIBGNOMEUI_MODULE,
				argc, argv,
				GNOME_PARAM_NONE);

Have a look at the docs:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/libgnome/libgnome-gnome-program.html

You don't need this anymore, but having will not cause any harm.

If you need more help then you'll have to supply more information.
