The first thing is to check your configure listing for possible missing
software packages. Maybe gtk2-devel (or gtk2-dev or similar depending on
distribution), but there might be others. In all cases you need
*development* packages for every single bit of software that will be
compiled into your application.

If the stdout/stderr log from configure doesn't give you enough clues,
check src/auto/config.log which is more detailed (but also contains more
information which you *won't* need).

If you find possible missing packages and install them, run "make
reconfig" to reconfigure and recompile.
