>It is important that you compile and install the GNOME
      packages in the proper orders.  There are some serious
      dependencies within the GNOME tree.  Here is my suggested order,
      you should compile and install each package before you move onto
      the next.  On ELF-based systems (such as GNU/Linux and FreeBSD),
      you should also run <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ldconfig</B
> after each
      package, just to be sure any new libraries are found.</P
