No, here you say: the package will be installed "under" /opt/gnome but
the installation directory for the librairies is /opt/gnome/lib (which
is actually a null op). If you want to use audiofile (ex not really
interrested for audiofile because of the audiofile-config script) from
/opt/gnome, use something like:
--with-audiofile=/opt/gnome or --with-audiofile-libs=/opt/gnome/lib
--with-audiofile-includes=/opt/gnome/include (the older are not always
correctly handled depending how m4 macros are written).

In all cases, closely check that the generated libraries/executables are
linked with the good libraries with ldd.

Add /opt/gnome/bin in your PATH before all others:
sh/ksh/bash: PATH=/opt/gnome/bin:$PATH
csh:         setenv PATH "/opt/gnome/bin:$PATH"
