libole2-0.2.3 and gnumeric-0.7.2

[Jeff Trefftzs <trefftzs tcsn net>]

I have just tried to compile gnumeric-0.7.2 on a RH-6.1 system, 
using the
tarball.  Gnumeric says it needs libole2 >= 0.2.3.  So I went 
and got that,
configured, made, and installed.  Retrying the configure for 
gnumeric, it
still complains:

checking for libole2 >= 0.2.3						... <FAIL> not found
configure: error: This version of gnumeric requires an external
libole2 library the latest version can be obtained from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/libole2/

So I checked in /usr/local/lib, and what I have there looks like 
this:

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       189046 Oct 23 18:59 
/usr/local/lib/libgnomeole2.a
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          776 Oct 23 18:59 
/usr/local/lib/libgnomeole2.la
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           21 Oct 23 18:59 
/usr/local/lib/libgnomeole2.so -> libgnomeole2.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           21 Oct 23 18:59 
/usr/local/lib/libgnomeole2.so.0 -> libgnomeole2.so.0.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       150464 Oct 23 18:59 
/usr/local/lib/libgnomeole2.so.0.0.0

I know this sounds like a real newbie question, but do I simply 
need to link
(symlink) libgnomeole2.so.0.0.0 to libole2.so.0.2.3?  Or have I 
missed something
even more obvious?

Your help will be greatly appreciated --
