I have installed GNOME2 into $HOME/usr/local/gnome2 and so autoconf is not
able to find its *.m4 macros. I've linked glib*.m4 from
$HOME/usr/local/gnome2/share/aclocal into /usr/share/aclocal and now it
runs much better but still fails with:

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgsf-1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgsf-1' found

        libgsf-1 >= 1.3.0
) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if
your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

Is this library part of GNOME2, or do I need to install it separately?

Thanks,
