Almost everything with a configure script has an option to specify paths
to where files are located. Those that don't have a configure script can
almost always be changed in the Makefile.
Type:
./configure --help | less
to see all of the options. Sometimes you won't find anything specific to
a particular set of files (like the audio packages). But, generally there
are options that will allow for extra includes and extra libraries within
the configure script.
In this case, it's likely something like:
./configure --<option_for_file_location>=/usr/local/gnome
The --<option_for_file_location> should probably be replaced with
--with-extra-libs & --with-extra-includes or something like that, anyway.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level
then beat you with experience.
