Well, I've been asking dumb questions all day and installing gnome
from CVS for the past 12 hours, so this might help...

I was running a vanilla 5.2 redhat system this morning.  I installed
autoconf-2.13, automake-1.4, freetype-1.2 (some font thinggie needed
by enlightenment), gettext-0.15.35, and libtool-1.2d (from
alpha.gnu.org).

After I got all that working, I installed the following packages from
the CVS tree-- in approximately this order.

   glib
   gtk+
   imlib
   ORBit
   audiofile
   esound
   libgtop
   gnome-libs
   gnome-objc
   gnome-core
   gnome-xml
   gnome-pim
   gnome-utils
   gnumeric
   gtop
   gdm
   mc
   fnlib
   e

And after an entire day of recompiles, everything seems to be working
except `gdm' which has crashed my entire linux box twice.

Good luck.
