cvs problems/questions

[Rob Hancock <rhan nwlink com>]

I have been trying to get gnome cvs installed.  RH6.0 system, left out as much
gnome stuff during clean install.  I have been installing packages (in
/opt/gnome) in the order listed from gnome1.0.40beta.  I've been able to get
past different errors I've been getting in previous packages, but can't seem to
figure this one out.

I removed the original glib with rpm -e --nodeps, but that didn't seem to help,
make keeps trying to find old shared libraries. 

Making all in libgnorba
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/gnome/gnome-libs/libgnorba'
orbit-idl -D__LIBGNORBA_COMPILATION ../idl/gnome-factory.idl
orbit-idl: error in loading shared libraries: libglib-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [gnome-factory.h] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/gnome/gnome-libs/libgnorba'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Some questions regarding a cvs install....

I've read as many of the helpfiles, or pages written on a gnome cvs install. 
But still have some questions.

1.  After installing (sometimes before) I remove the old libraries for glib,
and gtk because make finds the old ones.  Is that the correct thing to do?

2.  I'm assuming I will have to recompile all programs that were compiled with
the old version of glib and gtk?  Doing an rpm -e --nodeps on those old packages
will break everything that uses them?

3.  I kept getting errors do to make looking in /usr/local/aclocal for files
that were actually in /opt/gnome/share/aclocal, so I make symlinks to the new
files and put the links into /usr/local/aclocal.  Is there an easier/cleaner
way to handle this?

4.  Besides the cvshowto written by Soren Harward, and the enlightenment cvs
(one long night), are there any other references?
