As far as I know it is easier to compile if all is from CVS, but not
absolutely necessary.   The hardest part is making sure that all of the
appropriate macros are able to be found.  I am almost certain that GTK
and glib install their macros even with just the .tar.gz distributions
so, so perhaps you should try doing a 'find . -name "glib.m4"' to find
out where the macros for those libraries are being stored and add that
to the libtool list.  Also, make sure that you have the latest version
of libtool installed.  :)
