Yes, you are correct.  I checked /usr/local/lib and found that the 
following files were there:

/usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.la
/usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so
/usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0.400.5

They were the only files from any glib install, so I'm a bit confused as 
to how they got there.  I know once or twice I've forgotten the 
"prefix=/opt/gnome" and had to do a "make uninstall" and rerun 
"./configure"  I don't know if the "make uninstall" was broken, or if I 
had errors that stopped the process.

What I do know is that my system works now and I'm very happy about that.

Thanks,

Jim
