Yeah, I've done the same. I can't actually get to the debian packages. I
don't know if it's significant, but I didn't supply any arguments to
./configure.

Ok, done. As you say, it didn't work---same error.

I'm obviously missing something here. I tried creating the directory you
mentioned, but that didn't help either---same error.
I should point out that, while I've got the gnome libraries and a variety
of gnome apps (like gnucash, gnumeric, and dia) installed, I don't actually
use the gnome desktop. Is that system perhaps creating some files that
galeon's looking for?
