It's not the libintl.so.4 problem (i've been bit by that before)

I had actually two problems; one being that some parts of gnome got built
and installed but depended on components that had not been installed.

once I got that figured out and cleaned out the old Gnome-1.0 versions of
various libraries, things started moving and everything was building
relatively smoothly except for bombing out installing help files.

I tracked the problem down to a file labeled omf.make
which had a line like:
for file in $$files; do install -m 444 $file.out ${INSTALL_PREFIX}/$file;
done

since changing omf.make didn't seem to get picked up by a top level 'make
install' my (crude, hackish) solution was the find job described above.
