Ok, never mind the nautilus-config stuff. We now use pkg-config which, 
according to the man page:

       pkg-config  retrieves information about packages from spe­
       cial metadata files. These files are named after the pack­
       age,  with the extension .pc. By default, pkg-config looks
       in the directory prefix/lib/pkgconfig for these files;  it
       will  also  look in the colon-separated (on Windows, semi­
       colon-separated) list  of  directories  specified  by  the
       PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.


My PKG_CONFIG_PATH you ask? Bien Sur!

[syd saturn syd]$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/home/syd/garnome/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig

Good? Bad? Who can tell?

And what of the contents of my libnautilus.pc?

--- BEGIN libnautilus.pc ---
prefix=/home/syd/garnome
exec_prefix=/home/syd/garnome
libdir=/home/syd/garnome/lib
includedir=/home/syd/garnome/include


Name: libnautilus
Description: A library to create Nautilus components
Version: 2.3.1
Requires: eel-2.0 bonobo-activation-2.0 libbonobo-2.0 libbonoboui-2.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -lnautilus
Cflags: -I${includedir}
--- END libnautilus.pc ---

All of these things and I *still* get the dreaded
"nautilus: relocation error: /usr/lib/libnautilus.so.0: undefined 
symbol: TC_string_struct" when trying to start nautilus.

Does this all seem on the up and up? Are there toothpicks in the 
windmills of my mind?

Cheers,
Syd.
