You basically need to think more newbie-like :-)

Run redhat-config-packages (GUI-wise in the System Tools menu, forget
the exact name). Add the packages for GNOME development. (Should
basically be a toplevel group that has what you need.) Insert CD's 
when prompted.

(Red Hat ships with the needed compiler, autotools, as well as
both GTK+-1.2 and GTK+-2.0 development environments; you apparently
just didn't install them.)
