gobject is one of the libraries installed as part of glib-2.x.  this error
essentially means that either glib-2.x is not installed, or you have not
installed your distro's glib-devel package.

gtk+ depends on glib, but does not include it.  the glib-devel package will be
separate from the gtk2-devel package.  this is probably what's missing.

on gnome.org you get only source, from which are made both the runtime and
devel packages found in distributions...  i don't use suse so i can't tell you
what their name for the gnome packages would be, but gnome's libraries are,
well, numerous.  the Gnome2 perl module only binds libgnome and libgnomeui,
but those in turn depend on many others.

so try looking for
  libgnome2-devel
  libgnomeui2-devel
