I was trying to build "glade" directly.  I have seen similar problems with
other packages as well, however..

Ouch. ;) :(

Well, I installed Opera on a vanilla 1.5 machine and it couldn't find some
of the libraries (can't check, the machine isn't here any more).  Also, I
couldn't run xpdf until I set LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib (xpdf first
found the libs it wanted, but then looked for them in /usr/lib and couldn't
find them there.. according to ktrace).

I built kde2 (required a few patches to Makefiles, but seems to build now
(thanks, Tomasz!)) but some things don't work (like the screensavers, which
complain they can't find the libkcm_screensaver.a library, but it _is_
there)...

I guess I should make a list of all the problems, but I first thought it
was all my fault and banged my head against the wall, rebuilt and rebuilt
and got some bits working eventually..
