Probably evil.  And likely to break things.  Putting /usr/local/bin into
your $PATH would probably work better.  This sort of thing is how people
end up installing new releases and still getting the old config file.

If you built gdk-pixbuf from source, I'd recommend that you re-build it
with --prefix=  matching where your distribution would install it (for
instance, RedHat works Much Better if you build with --prefix=/usr so
you don't get bit by /usr versus /usr/local issues).

Looks like somebody forgot to run ldconfig after installing a
shared library?  Or ldconfig *did* get run, but /etc/ld.so.conf
doesn't list the direcotry that the libraries got placed in (which
could be an issue - RH 7 doesn't put /usr/local/lib in ld.so.conf
by default, but if your -config script went into /usr/local/bin,
the libs probably went in /usr/local/lib).

See above, regarding building with --prefix=

I don't see any -I flags pointing at gdk-pixbuf.

Did you get any 'unable to find include file' messages while compiling
the various .o files?  Quite probably you did - the gdk-pixbuf
includes are problably in /usr/local/include, not searched by gcc by
default.

Odd.. you *do* have a -lgnomeui flag there....  Might want to check
what release of Gnome you have....
