Install Problem with Gnumeric-0.71

[Jeffrey Stephens <jsteve17 tampabay rr com>]

I hope it's not heresy on this list to say that I prefer the KDE desktop to
Gnome, but I would like to install the latest stable gnumeric. I downloaded
gnumeric-0.71 and read the README file.  I downloaded and installed the
minimum list of prerequisites specified there and then ran "./configure".  
This is the error I get:

creating libtool
checking for gnome-config... no
checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found
configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by 
gnome-lib

I have the gome-libs-1.0.58-1 RPM installed.

Does someone help me to resolve this difficulty.  Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jeff Stephens
