You need to check the CFLAGS with pkg-config like this:

<clip>
[sbox-PC: /usr/lib/pkgconfig] > pkg-config --cflags gnome-vfs-2.0
-pthread -I/usr/include/gnome-vfs-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/include
-I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
</clip>

The required libs may be obtained with pkg-config like this:
<clip>
[sbox-PC: ~] > pkg-config --libs gnome-vfs-2.0
-pthread -Wl,--export-dynamic -lgnomevfs-2 -ldbus-glib-1 -lgthread-2.0
-lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -ldbus-1 -lglib-2.0
</clip>

You might want to put that to our autotools scripts (with
PKG_CHECK_MODULES in configure.ac) so that it will be run automatically at
configure stage.
