[gamin] Building Gamin 0.1.9 on OSX

[Balajee <balajeerc gmail com>]

I am trying to get gamin to build on OSX. On searching the mail archives 
I found that patches to build on OSX as described in:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gamin-list/2007-May/msg00002.html
have been applied in 0.1.9 as stated in:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gamin-list/2007-July/msg00005.html

However, I am unable to build on OSX (10.6.6)
The following is a transcript of the configure script's output and make 
output.
Can someone please take a look and see what is going wrong?
