That last line gives a path that looks like it's on an NFS mount. If so, the mount is almost certainly configured with "root-squash", meaning that when you run something "sudo" you actually _LOSE_ all your rights to that directory.

Try building and installing GTK from a local partition, not an NFS mount.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Rob
