This should be part of "libxpm".  Sorry, i'm not sure which package this
might be included with debian.  Sometimes libxmp's header gets installed
in /usr/X11/include/ rather than /usr/X11/include/X11, but I dont know
if this is true of debian.

You own gnome-app?  As in not one of the included ones?

gnome-config can be used to generate link or include paths.

e.g.
gcc `gnome-config --cflags gnome` -c myapp.c
gcc `gnome-config --libs gnome` myapp.o -o myapp

(I think I have this right ...).

If you're compiling things with configure you might have to do
./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome
when you configure them.

This on the right track?
