./configure --prefix=/usr \

make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.30.2: This parameter causes the configuration files to be installed in /etc/gnome/2.30.2 instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc. You may prefer to use a simpler value such as /etc/gnome or even /etc.

--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.
