You say you installed the gnome-libs, so is the directory where the
gnome-libs reside "defined" in /etc/ld.so.conf ?? if not define it and
rerun ldconfig now try again.
It could also be that the configure program is looking for the libs or
whatever in another directory ( some distro's install things in different
dirs ), by doing
./configure --help
You should see an option allowing you to define the place where the dirs
are located on your system.
A handy place to look for more details is the file called "config.log" its
created when you run ./configure
Hope this helps.
If not please include the last few lines of the configure script output and
the relavant lines about the errors from config.log in your next mail.
That should help me and others here on the list to help you.
