Yes I think it's version issues. ubuntu 9.04 uses libgtk2.0-dev version 2.16. 
'gtk_file_chooser_set_create_folders' is only available in 2.18 and later.

I commented out that line (5082) in xboard.c and it compiled ok. It then fails 
at run time though with:

Error: 7 gtk/evalgraph.glade: required gtk+ version 2.20, current version is 
2.16
Error: gtk_builder didn't work (EvalGraph)!
Error: gtk_builder didn't work (EvalGraphDrawingArea)!

so the glade file requires version 2.20.
