For gnome-1.4 there are 2 main options

1) configure with --prefix=/opt/...
    or
2) configure your build with whatever prefix you want, but use the
environment variable GNOME_LIB to point to /opt/... so that
configure for gnumeric can find the rest of gnome.  There is a
smidge more to do to get guppi working because it requires
symlinking a file from your guppi intstall back to the main area,
but it is not rocket science.

Ah, this is probably because gnome2 gnumeric is still in
development.  You can easily build one of the snapshots (1.1.5 is
the latest) using the gnome2 libraries provided.  For the next
release you will need to install libgsf (a replacement for libole).
