Reading your log and modification I woudn't say the build was successful. 
The main problem seems to be that you are using an outdated source package 
of Dia. But see below ...

First you should get an up-to-date version, for stable use
        git clone git://git.gnome.org/dia
and
        git checkout -b dia-0-97 -t origin/dia-0-97
or

For the almost as stable development version skip the second step.

With a Debian based distribution it could have been as simple as:
        sudo apt-get build-dep dia

Dia does not need gtk+-1.0 so this is already questionable.

superfluous

> libxml++2.6-dev
the C++ version is not needed

ok.

Really asking for trouble ...

This might indeed participate in the broken build.

Something missing here?
