Usually when the configuration process breaks, there's a bit more of
error output directly above what you pasted which should help pinpoint
the problem more accurately (it should exactly what .pc file couldn't be
found). Could you please provide that, in case it exists?

It does not say you do not have libgnome, what it says is that somewhere
along the way that list of dependecies is not entirely met by your
system. This can be either because you don't have the required
dependency installed at all or simply because the corresponding .pc file
can't be found - it may be in a non-standard location. In the latter
case, locate the required .pc file and adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
accordingly to include that location.
