Question with Gnome Apps & Custom Paths

[jpiszcz <jpiszcz lucidpixels com>]

I use relink (package management), keeps all your stuff in /app/<program>.
http://relink.sourceforge.net/ for more details.

However, I was wondering, is it possible to get all the Gnome 
applications to link not to the direct folder/directories that the 
libraries are held (ie: /app/glib-2.2.0), but instead the symlink, 
/vapp/lib/libgobject-2.0la)?

This would help a lot, because then I would not have to change the name 
glib-2.2.0 to glib-2.2.1 every time I compile a newer version of a Gnome 
application.  That in part because other applications still have the 
hard coded path (/app/glib-2.2.0) in their */lib/*.la.

Please let me know, thanks!

Then glib intalls fine.
