Thanks a lot Tomek but i've already solved my problem
It was just the .profile file that needed to be well edited...it was not correct. :-) 
So it has to be like this:
#!/bin/sh
# Add PATH and MANPATH for GNOME:
PATH=/opt/gnome215/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gnome215/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
GDK_USE_XFT=1
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gnome215/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH GDK_USE_XFT PKG_CONFIG_PATH
