Hi, you've installed gtk2, and gtkextra (the standard tarball, anyway) needs gtk1.2.

You can use fink to get gtk on there, then do gtk+extra yourself. Do

	fink install gtk+

then download gtk+extra. You need to patch gtk+extra 0.99.17 (the most recent release) for mac os. The bundled config.guess/config.sub do not know about mac os, so swap them for the fink versions

	cd gtk+extra-0.99.17
	cp /sw/share/libtool/config.* .

also gtkextra/gtkplotdt.c #includes malloc.h for some reason. Just delete this line (line 23 of gtkextra/gtkplotdt.c). Then

	./configure --prefix=/sw
	make
	make install

... bingo!
