You just have to dig in and get your hands dirty.  Gnome is not that easy 
to build.  I will probably take a day just to build all the packages, 
assuming you want a full install.  I still can't get some stuff to build, 
mostly the stuff for disabled people.  Fortunately, I am not disabled so I 
don't need it.

Here is the order I used to build Gnome 2.10: YMMV.

gtk-doc
glib
libIDL
ORBit2
intltool
libbonobo
pango
atk
gtk+
GConf
gnome-mime-data
glibmm
gnome-vfs
gnome-vfsmm
libgnome
libart_lgpl
libglade
libgnomecanvas
libbonoboui

gnome-icon-theme
gnome-keyring
libgnomeui

gtk-engines
gnome-themes
gnome-desktop
libwnck

gnome-panel
gnome-session
vte
gnome-terminal
libgtop
gail
libxklavier

metacity
libgsf
libcroco

libgnomeprint
libgnomeprintui
gtksourceview
gedit

gnome-netstatus
dasher
librep
rep-gtk
gimp-print
gimp
gimp-help
gnumeric

Here is the configure I use.  One point, disable the doc build if you have 
problems.  The documents don't seem to build if you don't have all the 
SGML tools and whatnot properly installed. Of course, change it to suit 
your preferences/system.

./configure 'LIBS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib' \
     --prefix=/usr/local/gnome210 \
     --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 \
     --enable-optimize="-O2 -mtune=athlon-mp"        \
     --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \
     --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib \
     --with-libwrap  \
     --enable-ipv6 \
     --enable-local-sound \
     --with-audiofile \
     --enable-alsa \
     --with-openssl \
     --with-GL=GL \
     --with-GL-prefix=/usr/X11R6 \
     --enable-console-helper  \
     --enable-doc-build \
     --enable-gtk-doc
