Built fine here

As to the rest of your post, it seems you are simply doing it too
complicated.
I would suggest to use debian packages for both mozilla and mozilla-dev,
plus debian source packages for nautilus.

If you have deb-src lines
(e.g., deb-src http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free
contrib) in your /etc/apt/sources.list, go to a directory were you as
user have write permissions and enough space, then (as user) do a
'apt-get source nautilus' (and what else you need, IIRC at least
nautilus-mozilla is a separate package) (and in the meanwhile read man
apt-get, section source). This will download the sources to the current
dir and build it with the default options. If you want non-default
configure options, do 'apt-get source --download-only <package>', edit
$PWD/nautilus-<version>/debian/rules. At the beginning there should be a
place to put your configure options. To find out the build options, try
$PWD/nautilus-<version>/configure --help. Note that usually you don't
need to set library and header places, unless you have several versions
installed and want to use a special one, but might want things like
--with-fam. Save after edit, and then do (still as user)
'$PWD/nautilus-<version>/debian/rules build'. This will build the
program. Then do 'fakeroot $PWD/nautilus-<version>/debian/rules binary'
(install fakeroot if you don't have it) which will build a binary
package (deb) with the right permissions (as if you were root). Then su
to root and install the resulting debs: 'dpkg -i $PWD *.deb'

For nautilus, you'll want a load of other *-dev packages installed
before building, like bonobo-dev, eel-dev, gtkhtml-dev, and lots of
others. Use http://packages.debian.org/ to find out which ones. If the
build complains that it wants such-and-such package, remember that you
want the *-dev, too.

Also, you may want to consider to add deb-src lines for sid and use
mozilla and nautilus from there (0.9.6 and 1.0.6, respectively)

Kind regards, M.
