The error message is actually a little bit misleading, since the "path"
it is referring to is not the same as $PATH.

Look at the output of

	'pkg-config --variable=gconf_serverdir gconf-2.0'

That is where the gconf-sanity-check-2 program should be. On my machine,
that is $(prefix)/libexec/. If gconf-sanity-check-2 is not there, you
need to work out why.
