Yes, I have.  Before this step, I built parted 3 and evidently, from the 
typescript of the make output, also built the current libparted 3.0 . 
However, a build of gparted-0.9.0 fails:

I need to make certain that the configure and then the make finds the 
libparted that the parted 3 build purportedly built.  I am too tired 
right now to proceed -- but if anyone does get gparted 0.9 using parted 
3 to build and function on SL 6.x (preferably X86-64), please do post 
your success.
