installed libraries to new location, but libtool still thinks it's in /usr/local

I have replaced my custom built pango and atk libraries in /usr/local with debian packages, and now for some reason when I trying compiling gnome packages, libtool reports an error and says that it can't find /usr/local/lib/libpano*.la. I greped a lot of configuration files in /etc, /opt/gnome, and /usr/local, but couldn't find any references to pango being in /usr/local. Any ideas?

"libtool reports an error and says that it can't find /usr/local/lib/libpano*.la."

The easiest way to fix this is with a symbolic link. Link /usr/local/libpango.la to whever the file really is. I would guess that it is somewhere in /opt on Debian.

I know. I did this for all the libraries that I built that were not in /usr when I built gnome 2.8 and it was HELL.

just a guess but i bet it's the prefix setting in the pango.pc file
*.la are just text files as well and they hold lib path settings at the bottom
