[gnomemm] Glade2/g++/autogen.sh build/link errors

[scott adrenaline com]

I'm trying (hard) to get a glade2/g++ development environment setup,
and having some problems. I used to write quite a bit of C and C++ code
for Dos and then Windows, but I'm very new to Linux C++ programming
and it's application build discipline.

For Glade2/Gnome projects, I get an interesting link error when running
./autogen.sh during what I think is the link phase.

g++: /usr/lib/libgnomecanvas-2.so: No such file or directory
g++: /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so: No such file or directory
g++: /usr/lib/libbonobo-2.so: No such file or directory
g++: /usr/lib/libxml2.so: No such file or directory
g++: /usr/lib/liblinc.so: No such file or directory

The files I can find in my /usr/lib with the closest names are:

libbonobo-2.so.0 and libbonobo-2.so.0.0.0
libart_lgpl_2.so.2 and libart_lgpl_2.so.2.3.11
libgnomecanvas-2.so.0 and libgnomecanvas-2.so.0.300.0
libxml.2.so.2 and libxml2.so.2.5.6
liblinc.so.1 and liblink.so.1.0.0

I'm running:
  - Redhat 9 with updated Gnome RPMs from NyQuist
  - glade-2 v. 2.0.0
  - autoconf v. 2.57
  - automake v. 1.6.3
	
I appreciate any help I can get on this problem or pointers on how
to otherwise refine my environment for developing Gnome apps. I'm
eager to put build woes behind me and dive into the Gnome API's.

Thanks!
