In my case this was a sign that the build process isn't completely
careful about respecting --with-gtk.  It wasn't picking up the right
gtk libs.  On my Debian system, I had to purge libgtk1-dev and
rebuild.  This fixed it.  Here's the autoconfig step I've been using:

  GTK_CONFIG=/usr/local/opt/gtk+/bin/gtk-config \
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/opt/gtk+/lib:/usr/local/opt/gnome/lib \
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/opt/gnome \
                 --with-gtk-prefix=/usr/local/opt/gtk+\
                 --with-gnome=/usr/local/opt/gnome

And here's the make step:

  PATH=/usr/local/opt/gtk+/bin:${PATH} \
  GTK_CONFIG=/usr/local/opt/gtk+/bin/gtk-config \
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/opt/gtk+/lib make

I still can't get gnome-core to build, though.  It dies with the
autoconf problem I mentioned earlier.  Someone else reported the same
thing:  ./configure: line 525: syntax error near unexpected token
`AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)'
