I followed these very good instructions (on a stock RH 7.0 workstation
install) right up to the point where I was trying to get gnome-vfs
installed, and still no luck.

I found and fixed one problem (or at least got around it) that you
might want to change if you decide to update the page.  That is, for
compiling gnome-vfs, it seems to want the path to the gconf/gconf.h
include files specified.  So instead of 

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/src/gnome_cvs/ --disable-more-warnings

I ended up sticking a 

CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/src/gnome_cvs/include/gconf/1"

on the front of it (or, following the file structure you were using,
CPPFLAGS="-I /opt/gnome_cvs/include/gconf/1"

However, it still bombs out in the link phase, claiming it cannot find
some of the gconf_* functions in the libgnomevfs/.libs/libgnomevfs.so
shared library.

Hey, i know this is not your problem at all, but since you went to the
trouble to put up the instructions, I thought I might pester you about
it and see if you'd seen this.
