Try this: copy from glib dir glib.m4 in gtk dir. Then run aclocal -I .

~src/gnome/gtk+$ cp ../glib/glib.m4 .
~src/gnome/gtk+$ aclocal -I .

Or simply:

~src/gnome/gtk+$ aclocal -I ../glib/


I've got similar problem (with Debian/GNU Linux hamm), and I resolved it
doing a lot of mess with aclocal and macro files.
