Wonderful as the ports system is, there comes a time in life when I need to
compile packages outside that system.

Lately I have been totaly unable to nuild anything Gnome related. I keep
getting errors about gnomeConf.sh not being found.

What do I need to do to set up my achine to allow building Gnome apps from
upstream sources?
