RE: Help w/Install of Gnome

["Torti, Richard A" <richard a torti boeing com>]

This is what I had to do. I did this some time ago, so I hope its 
relevant.  The files you listed were installed in /usr/local/lib 
for me.  After adding that path to my ld.so.conf and running 
ldconfig.  I relinked the files in usr/lib to the ones in 
/usr/local/lib.  This seemed to do the trick.
