As far as I know, there are no problems with this. Just build all the libraries
GNOME needs (you can see some of them in ftp.gnome.org), and try to build it.
gnome-libs will only build if you have all needed libraries installed (imlib,
gtk, esd, etc etc etc).
I installed it on a slackware 4.0 system, had to compile all of the libraries
myself, so I guess it's possible for you to do the same (don't think the alpha
processor will be an issue, as most packages detect this properly with autoconf).
