Re: forcing configure to use /opt/gnome

["Ben Taylor" <sol7x86 hotmail com>]

Steve,

I have to do this all the time.

What I do is export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/gnome/lib ..."
(adding -R/opt/gnome/lib for Solaris) when
I configure.  Then I usually have to hackup the
*-config (like gnome-config or glib-config) and the
*Conf.sh files before installing.  Eventually, the
right flags end up in the makefiles.

The main problem is that some directories and -L flags
are not added for specific sets of *LIBS.  I've tried
to update some of the sources, but eventually gave
up because they never made it in to the next release
of the source.

Apparently, if you're not running linux or installing
in /usr or /usr/local, the attitude I get from some
is that we're supposed to live with it.
