If that is a solution, you don't need to actually uninstall the 
Nautilus. It's enought that it doesn't get found while you're building 
and configuring Nautilus. To do that, remove the line listing your 
previous GNOME installation (or rather, Nautilus installation) from your 
 /etc/ld.so.conf (and run ldconfig), and unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH if it's 
listed there. It might also help to remove the previous Nautilus binary 
directory from PATH (eg. remove /opt/gnome/bin, if that's where it is; 
you can use export PATH=`echo $PATH | sed s+/opt/gnome/bin++` to do that).

This way, it will be as if no other Nautilus is installed at the moment 
of configuration and building, and, if you want to use previous GNOME at 
the time of building, it can be achieved too. All of the previously 
mentioned needs to be set only in current environment (except for 
/etc/ld.so.conf stuff, because it's system wide), so, if you want to run 
GNOME, just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib (or whatever) and run it.

Then modify the environment in, eg., xterm, and run the build from 
there. If it cannot find it, it's not there, so there should be no problems.

It can get messy if your original GNOME 1.4.x is installed in some 
system path like /usr or /usr/local, and you have libraries that you 
need while building in there. Maybe some LD_PRELOAD variable can help, 
but I don't know for sure.

And to remind you, all these suggestions are a "blind man star gazing" 
stuff, so follow with precaution.

Still, hoping this helps,
