Which libIDL was it trying to link against? - I had this problem on a
SuSE box a while back where Mozilla found the system ORBit first and
linked there, without success.

Quick, hackish solution in 0.26.2 was to re-export PATH so my GARNOME
directory was before /usr/bin and LD_LIBRARY_PATH so the libs directory
was before /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib -- then run make clean and build
again.
