[ale] ld can't find my libraries

[hbbs at attbi.com]

I'm having a similar issue; in tryinf to build and install the laundry list of
things needed to build and install Abiword, I've all but given up because even
though I've gotten the glib-2.2.2 to install, the next thing in the list - pango
- bombs out on ./config for not having a high enough (IIRC, >2.1.3) of glib. 
I've fooled with ldconfig and its conf file and it seems to be picking up the
new info but it's just kind of hopeless and no Ms that I have RTFed or Googling
are getting me anywhere.

This is Mandrake 9.1, FWIW.

It seems as though modern versions of RH and Man don't carry binaries of gtk+ at
all, which is a bit disheartening.
