You cannot build GNOME 1 applications against GNOME 2 libraries. If you
are building something like the main anjunta release (I don't believe
the GNOME 2 port has been release yet for that), it will need to build
against glib-1.2, etc.

It sounds like you do not have the various devel packages installed on
your system for glib-1.2, gtk-1.2 and so forth (configure will pick
those up if they are in default locations, regardless of how you set
--prefix).

The libraries were renamed, by the way, to indicate that they are
completely different things (not API compatible). This also permits
parallel installs, so that you can run and build both gtk-1.2 and
gtk-2.0 applications.
