        It looks like you installed using RPMs, so I'll guess ...

        Configure scripts that come with GNOME-aware programs usually
assume that the GNOME distribution is in the /usr/local directory. 
Look at what options are available for this configure script by running
configure with the --help option. There should be something like:

        --with-gnome=

        or

        --with-gnome-prefix=

        listed as one of the options. Try setting this prefix to /usr.
