Thanks for your reply.

The "problem" is that gtk.m4 is installed using the prefix which was
specified when gtk was configured whereas autoconf wants it in *its*
macro directory - if these aren't the same then gtk.m4 isn't found
when you configure imlib.

I'm not sure if there's a cleaner way to have autoconf look in more
places than /usr/share/aclocal but for a quick fix I symlinked gtk.m4.

It would have been nice if the error was "can't find gtk.m4" though :-(
