Never tried setting that as an environment. Is that something that Gnome
sets up when you get into it? I'm not going to be running Gnome, I just
want the ability to run Gnumeric under a regular X Window Manager. That is
possible, isn't it?

Well, I tried without the --enable-static, and it still didn't work. What
sort of "odd" things should I look for? Uninstalled software? Invalid
versions? For reference, I'm running a self built system using the LFS
book at www.linuxfromscratch.org. I've then installed certain software on
top of the basic linux infrastructure LFS gives me to get just the things
I want. For Gnumeric, I've followed the instructions on what software is
needed, as well as some configure messages as well. Is there any info I
can grab from my system that would help us identify what I've done
incorrectly?

Thanks for still trying to help me...
