Did you see any "AM_PATH_GTK not in library" errors?  Be sure that
gtk.m4 is in the right place.  Also, you must have automake 1.2d.  Please
read HACKING in the gimp source root and docs/gtk-config.txt in the
gtk source tree.  Don't forget to install libtool too.

No one else has problems with the macro file.  It's probably a configuration
error on your box.
