It will build as a shared library automatically. Just don't change
anything. The .so is in a subdirectory called .libs; it will install when
you make install.

gnome-libs probably requires CVS glib and gtk.

It would help to have the version of glib and gtk you're using, the exact
error messages for any build failures, and the contents of config.log
anytime configure fails to detect something.
