[gnomemm] Compile problems

["C.J. Collier" <cjcollier pobox com>]

So, I go to ./configure and make libgnomemm (from CVS, and from
gnomemm-all) and for some reason, it expects all my libraries (or at
least quite a few of them) to be in /usr/local

Why would the tools expect such a thing?  

Here's an example:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link c++  -g -O2   -o libgnomemm-1.3.la
-rpath /usr/local/lib -version-info 6:0:0 main.lo moduleinfo.lo
program.lo wrap_init.lo init.lo -L/usr/local/lib -lgtkmm-1.3 -lgdkmm-1.3
-latkmm-0.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lpangomm-0.0 -lglibmm-1.3 -lsigc-1.1
-lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0
-lpango-1.0 -lgnome-2 -lbonobo-2 -lgconf-2 -lgnomevfs-2
-lbonobo-activation -lORBit-2 -lxml2 -lz -lm -llinc -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl
-lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lpthread -lglib-2.0   
mkdir .libs
grep: /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la: No such file or
directory
libtool: link: `/usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la' is not a valid libtool
archive
make[4]: *** [libgnomemm-1.3.la] Error 1

Why doesn't it check /usr/lib?  That's where all my libs are!

Ack.  Any suggestions?  Am I missing something simple and silly?

Thanks much...
