Subject: Installing GNOME from sources!

Hey all!!
 
I've been trying to install GNOME 2.4 from sources... but have been unable till now...
 
To avoid a mess, I decided to install the new GNOME packages under /opt. That meant that the new libraries and the header files would be installed in /opt/lib and /opt/include. So, I had to set the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /opt/lib/pkgconfig (by issuing
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib/pkgconfig) so the pkgconfig utility searched /opt/lib/pkgconfig before the usual /usr/lib/pkg-config. I had also added the line /opt/lib to the file /etc/ld.so.conf. Moreover, the usual ./configure was replaced by ./configure --prefix=/opt so the installation folder was /opt.
 
But the thing is... when it tries to find the dependencies... it doesnt find the files I had just installed... even tho if I check the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH  it gives me the correct one I've set....
 
Its a Mdk 9.1 with GNOME 2.2!! Since its a Fedora list... I dunno if I am sposed to send MDK Linux related issues!! Pls lemme kno if its ok... and if so pls lemme kno what seems to be the problem....
