R-gnome: no way to configure

Hi!

I've been able to configure and make R (1,4,0 linux)
except for the gnome support. I've checked all packages and libs mentioned
in R-admin.pdf (and by Luke Tierny) to make sure that I have them and even
using the following:

./configure --with-gnome --with-gnome-includes=/opt/gnome/include
--with-gnome-libs=/opt/gnome/lib --with-libglade-config=opt/gnome/lib

I still get:

R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu
  Source directory:          .
  Installation directory:    /usr/local
  C compiler:                gcc  -mieee-fp -D__NO_MATH_INLINES -g -O2
  C++ compiler:              c++  -mieee-fp -g -O2
  FORTRAN compiler:          g77  -g -O2
  X11 support:               yes
  Gnome support:             no
  Tcl/Tk support:            yes
  R profiling support:       yes
  R as a shared library:     no

I really don't know what else I can do, gnome runs ok on this machine.

Should I just give up? There is no way to require that configure tells 
exactly what's missing?

Thanks

Was that as typed? That might explain things.
Somewhere in the output from configure there should be a line saying
which test is failing, and config.log has the details. Don't forget to
remove config.cache, btw.

Yes, thanks for pointing it,  but even correcting the missing "/" 
I get the same result.

The R-admin.pdf doc says 
"`--with-libglade-config=LIBGLADE CONFIG' specify location of
libglade-config "

I understand that it refers to the file

libgladeConf.sh

that I have under /opt/gnome/lib, but I'm not sure.

Thanks

Agus

No it doesn't.  It refers to the shell script "libglade-config"
which comes with the libglade package.  On Red Hat systems, this
is included in the package libglade-devel, so on Debian I would
guess you need libglade-dev.

I was able to configure on SuSE 7.3 with just

	./configure --with-gnome

so I would guess that you don't have all the devel rpm's you need yet.
Look at config.log and see if that helps; remove the cache before you
re-run configure just to be sure; and save or pipe configure's output
so you can look at it and see if that helps. If you're seeing a
problem with glade, check if you have /usr/bin/libglade-config; if you
don't you need the libglade-devel rpm.  If that doesn't help I can
send you a list of the rpm's that are installed on my box and you can
compare to yours and look for likely suspects.

I have 
/opt/gnome/bin/libglade-config
instead of 
/usr/bin/libglade-config

and Yast states that libglade-config is installed.

I've searched config.log and did not find anything
on libglade.

Instead, the output of configure seems interesting:

checking for gnome-config... (cached) no
checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found

I do have gnomeConf.sh, but in /opt/gnome/lib/ Nevertheless,
I do state 
--with-gnome-libs=/opt/gnome/lib

So it seems that configure does not look where it's told.

Might be that configure does not actually read the
--with-gnome-libs parameter ?
