I've mentioned this many times on this list already.

If you haven't installed gtk with the same --prefix that you used with
automake, then aclocal won't find AM_PATH_GTK.

The fix is to symlink <aclocal-prefix>/share/aclocal/gtk.m4 to gtk.m4
from the Gtk source tree.

Then re-run autogen.sh in your gnome-libs tree.
