-lgtk & -lgdk are missing from the link line.  It didn't find gtk for
some reason.  Can you send the relevant portions of config.log, and
configure output.  Do you have `gtk-config' in your path.

For compiling out of CVS, you need to install GNU gettext.  You can get
gettext 0.10.35 from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu.
