I'm guessing that since you've used --prefix=$HOME/local on your module
dependent on gtk+ which resides in /usr/local that configure isn't
finding it.  Maybe --with-sysroot=/usr/local will help but IDK if it will.

The other option is to use --prefix=/usr/local on the configure and make
and then set DESTDIR on install, as in ``make DESTDIR=$HOME/local
install'', which is what I would do.
