I guess you mean /opt/garnome/bin here right?

That sounds like a good idea.


OK, so I removed everything and started over (pango is pretty early in
the build process, luckily).  But, I get the same problem :-(.  It's
still putting /usr/include/X11 etc. on the compile line before my
stuff.  I even tried modifying the Pango configure invocation to set
X_CFLAGS etc.


Looking at config.status it APPEARS that these extra libraries are being
put there as a result of XFT.  So, I'm going to try building
bootstrap/xft and see if that helps (even though I don't think I need to
build it since it comes with RH8 :-/).

I still wonder whether there isn't some way that Garnome should be
setting "always look at these directories first", generally for all
configurations.
