vte won't compile

[Amarpreet Rattan <arattan cpu101 math uwaterloo ca>]

hello,

i was trying to compile garnome about a month ago and ran into some
problems.  anyways, i am trying again and still having the same problems.
i am trying to install garnome-2.6.2 from bobk's site.

I have a redhat 9 system, gnome 2.4 installed and lots of updated rpms
(i.e. this is NOT a vanilla redhat 9 system).  further, i am installing
garnome in the user directory /home/garnomeuser.  NOTE.  i did not alter
any make files, i just untarred the tarball, cd into garnome-2.6.2/desktop
and did a 'make paranoid-install' just like the instructions said.

here is the error

-------------------------------------------

the problem seems to be that the 'make paranoid-install' is looking for
libgtk-x11-2.0.la in /usr/lib.  why it is looking for it there i don't
know.  i looked in the /home/garnomeuser/garnome/lib and libgtk-x11-2.0.la
is there, so it was built by the 'make paranoid-install'.  for some reason
it doesn't want to use the one in /home/garnomeuser/garnome/lib.

someone, a month ago suggested removing my gtk devel rpms.  however, there
are libgtk-x11 type files in my /usr/lib directory, but they are owned by
the rpm gtk2, and i can't remove gtk2 without ruining my whole gnome-2.4
install (also, isn't the point of garnome that you can have it with
another gnome?).

here is a link to the suggestion to remove gnome related stuff

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/garnome-list/2004-June/msg00036.html

anyways, any help on the matter would be appreciated.  of course, any info
you need i can give.  i have been stuck on the same problem for a month, i
am about ready to give up.

thanks
