I did not follow the whole thread, but... most probably there is nothing
"missing" as gnome is installed and all libraries are there (probably).
You may not be aware that most packages that deal with libraries that
can be used for development are split into two packages, the "normal"
one has all the libraries that programs that were built with this
dependency need to run, and then another package usually named
"xxx-devel" that has the stuff you need to actually _build_ packages
that need that particular library. If you are missing something try to
install NAME_OF_MISSING_LIBRARY-devel (if you find the "base" package,
of course, otherwise you will need both).
