gnome-libs linking problems

[Josh Sled <jsled scam XCF Berkeley EDU>]

I've had linking problems with gnome-libs since anoncvs came back up.
I've been kind of lazy in reporting it... trying to figure out if it's
a problem with my setup.  Since no one else has complained, I think it
is... but I'm at a loss.

The problem seems to be that the recently-compiled libraries [in .libs
dirs] aren't being linked in... instead, the installed libraries [in
/usr/local/lib] are... which is causing the symbol ref problems...
I attempted to manually modify the Makefile to include
"-L../libgnomeui/.libs", but libtool doesn't like relative dirs.

This [below] is representative of the problems I'm encountering... I have
similar problems with gnome-hello-7-mdi.o ["undefined symbol
`_gnome_mdi_*`..."] and testgnome.o ["undefined symbol `(_gnome_number_entry_|
_gnome_lamp_set_window_type|_gnome_less_set_fixed_font|_gnome_app_*|
_gnome_appbar_*)`..."]...

FreeBSD 2.2.2; recent CVS versions [since anoncvs returned].

I haven't been able to compile anything for a while... hopefully
someone can help me out...
