Sorry, I meant libgnomecanvsasmm2.

No, libgnomecanvasmm != libgnomecanvas. You yourself just told us that
you have tried to install libgnomecanvasmm.

That is not at all clear. What are you trying to tell us? Are these
lists of rpms/debs? We don't maintain debs or rpms.

If you are talking about debs or rpms: There should not be both
libgnomecanvasmm-2.0 and libgnomecanvas-1.3.x packages. They are the
same thing. Maybe you are using a variety of 3rd party rpms/debs. We
have no control over what packages other people try to create.
Personally, I don't use rpms from anyone but my distro and Ximian.

There are gtkmm_hello and gnomemm_hello packages that might give you an
example build structure.

No, you can just use the Gnome::Canvas prefix. This is simple C++.
