This is almost always a path issue.  gnome-1.4 used a script called
'gnome-config' to manage build flags and paths.  That script assumes
by default that all other gnome packages are installed in the same
prefix as gnome-libs.  However, by default packages build with
    prefix=/usr/local

If you installed gnome-libs using a package that installed using a
different prefix (eg /usr) then your install of libole will not show
up by default.  You can solve this easily by using the GNOME_PATH
environment variable.  Set that to /usr/local and re configure
gnumeric (remove config.cache first) and things should work.

Good Luck
