This seems correct, so let's continue the quest for errors ...

gconf has no seperate devel package, everything is included in the main 
package (Try 'rpm -ql gconf | less' and you will see).

You are misinterpreting this error message - the linker tries to find a symbol 
named gconf_valid_key, which is _referenced_ by libgconf-gtk-1.so and IIRC 
this can be found in libgconf-1 (not -gtk-). The problem is, that libgconf is 
not in the list of the libraries to link to. Look into the command which is 
executed (You posted it tuesday evening), there is no '-lgconf-1'. As it is 
in the output of 'gconf-config --libs', it seems to be lost between configure 
and make. Are you sure that gconf-config is found by configure - look at the 
output of ./configure! Also the point you had to copy the gconf-includes 
points in the direction that something is wrong with gconf-config, as the 
path to this includes is also added to the compiler options with 
'gconf-config --cflags' (by the means of ./configure).

You can also look into the Makefile in the main directory, search for 'GCONF', 
there you be four rather long lines starting with GCONF ...

Be sure you have checked everything I mentioned above, and also in my first 
mail, I think this should give you some very good hints what goes wrong.

After thursday afternoon I will be out for holydays, maybe you will get your 
next answers only past next tuesday.

Good luck,
Stefan
