Install GConf by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=$GNOME_PREFIX --libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/sbin \ --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome --disable-gtk-doc && make && make install |
--libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/sbin: This switch puts libexec files in $GNOME_PREFIX/sbin instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome: This switch puts configuration files in /etc/gnome instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc. This installation controls all future installations of schemas, changes in location, including eliminating this command must be consistent.
--disable-gtk-doc: This switch will prevent the rebuilding of documentation during the make command.
The GConf package contains libgconf libraries.
libgconf libraries provide the functions necessary to maintain the configuration database.
