Two things:

1. I think you just want /usr/local as the prefix, and that is the
default so you don't have to set anything. 
Whatever it is it should match where gnome-libs is.
If you are happy polluting /usr/local, it is nice because you never have
to worry about setting the prefix.

2. I would get the latest gnome-core and gnome-libs, we have fixed alot
of bugs since gnome-core 1.4.0.1.
