I thought I said so:
"Here's the setup:
I checked out glib, atk, and pango.  I compiled them all with 
--prefix=/home/mike/path, LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/mike/path/lib, 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/mike/path/lib/pkgconfig, and 
PATH=/home/mike/path/bin:$PATH.  They all seem to be OK."

Is that not the correct syntax for LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

I mean, libtool is providing paths to my private copy of the libraries, 
so presumably I'm doing something right in the way of LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
(or maybe it's because of PKG_CONFIG_PATH?).  However, it is sticking 
the default paths ahead of my own copy, so the linking happens with the 
default path.  How do I stop that?
