The way that most people would select a theme is, to put in their
~/.gtkrc-2.0
gtk-theme-name = "Metal"
(Or select it through the GNOME UI for theme selection, if you
are running GNOME)

If GTK+ was installed some place other than /usr/local, the
gtk-engine's README file explains what to do:
If you configured GTK+ in a non-default prefix, you should
configure this package the same way. For instance:
./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk+
If you need to install this package in a different prefix
from GTK+, then you'll have to set your GTK_PATH environment
variable to point to the installed prefix. For instance,
if this package was configured with:
./configure --prefix=/home/john.doe/gtk-engines/
Then you'd set:
GTK_PATH=/home/john.doe/gtk-engines/lib/gtk-2.0/
export GTK_PATH
This will allow GTK+ to find the newly installed theme
engines. To use the sample themes (installed into
$prefix/share/themes), you'll need to copy or link them
into your ~/.theme [should ~/.themes - OT] directory.
