was:
   (cd soup-*; autoconf;);SOUP_FLAGS="--prefix=/usr" ./magic-prepare.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --localstatedir=/var --enable-backend-dpkg
--enable-static-binary --with-soup=`pwd`/soup-0.5.10
--with-imlib=/opt/rc-helper-libs --with-gdk-pixbuf=/opt/rc-helper-libs
--enable-console-helper

changed to:
    (cd soup-*; autoconf;);SOUP_FLAGS="--prefix=/usr" ./magic-prepare.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --localstatedir=/var --enable-backend-dpkg
--with-soup=`pwd`/soup-0.5.10 --with-imlib=/usr --with-gdk-pixbuf=/usr
--enable-console-helper

This was how I reconciled one or more compile errors I was getting.
Can't say for certain it was the right way but it worked in my case.

If this doesn't work you can always scan the error messages from
executing ./debian/rules and (in the case of missing libs) do a find
/usr -name=lib to find the right path

FYI this was in version 1.2.3-ximian.4. Don't know if it works on later
versions.

PS - Packages.gz is now available on red-carpet.ximian.com
