I think it is wonderful to have a distribution that finally *does* put things this way. I think it is better to fix those programs that doesn't compile when GNOME (or KDE, mozilla) is located in other locations than /usr since they are broken. They should be using 'gnome-config' in there Makefile (if they don't use auto*). gnome-config --cflags libgnomeui for includes gnome-config --libs libgnomeui for libs If the configure-script is broken you can try to execute it with: CFLAGS="-I/opt/gnome/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/gnome/lib" ./configure Regards, Mikael Hallendal
