Perhaps you need to install control-center 1.0 first...

LIBS=-lnsl ./configure --prefix=/gnome

(You need to have LIBS=-lnsl)

Wrong way, you should use

exec gnome-session

Which starts up the panel, E, etc. (Make sure you have either configured E
with --enable-fsstd, or the E bin directory is on your $PATH).
