I have no CentOS running so I can't try it out by myself, but can you
please run `pkg-config --list-all | grep libgnome-2.0`? The output
should be something like:
libgnome-2.0                        libgnome - libgnome

If this is not the case it might be that you have to install a
development package of libgnome in addition, so that the library can be
found at build time. 

Try to find and install a package like libgnome-devel-... and give it
again a try.

Best wishes and good luck
Uwe
