Neverending glib problems

[Anthony <orders nodivisions com>]

Installing gedit-2.4.0, and make dies with this:

>>>
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o libgedit-control.la 
-rpath /usr/local/lib/bonobo -module -avoid-version gedit-factory.lo

glib is installed at /usr/local.  And you can see in the argument list 
above that libtool IS BEING PASSED the correct location: 
"-L/usr/local/lib".  So why is it then looking in /usr/lib for 
libgthread-2.0.la (and a bunch of other libg*-2.0.la files) when they're 
at /usr/local/lib?

How can I tell this gedit installer to look in the correct place?  Or 
rather, where is he currently getting the idea that he needs to look in 
/usr/lib?

Thanks,
Anthony
