We've already told you that we do this.  Obviously, we don't experience t=
he
problems you see.

In "Libs:" we have -lpopt.  So libgnome is the package that needs popt an=
d
linkts to it.  It lacks the -L argument for
/home/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/install/popt-1.6.4/lib though.  Similarly,=
 it
lacks a -I argument for
/home/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/install/popt-1.6.4/include in "Cflags:".=20
Without these, no external package that relies on the information in
libgnome-2.0.pc will be able to find popt with your installation scheme.

Note that all the other lib and include paths (like
/home/sergei/AFSWD/install/GConf-2.14.0/include/gconf/2, etc.) get pulled=
 in
via their respective package's occurence on the Requires: line.  That tel=
ls
pkg-config to look into those .pc files.

So if the libgnome maintainer are willing to support your installation sc=
heme,
they should add the necessary -I and -L flags to the .pc file at configur=
e
time.
