that's the funny thing: I HAVE successfully INSTALLED gnome. it just doesn't
compile my own app. not with manually edited makefiles, not with ripped
automake stuff, not with gnomeConf.sh and not with the gnome-standalone
thing. I'm pretty sure I did at least one of these things right, so there
has to be something wrong with my system.
what I noticed are e.g. very weird paths for those files it then complains
about not finding. example: /usr/local/lib/gnome-libs/include/argp.h ?? and
that dir is nowhere in -I parameters.
