recompiling metactiy

when ever i try to recompile metacity in the /usr/abs area, it downlaods metacity source.. goes through the configure and then says it cannot find Gconftools2 and says it is usualy installed with gfconf.. well i do have gconf installed and i can see a gconftools2 file in my /opt/gnome/bin
im trying to put the expocity patch on metacity but it wont compile because it cant find somthing.. anydieas?

Re: recompiling metactiy

While we're on the subject, im trying to build Metacity CVS (for expocity), and I get this error during "./configure":
