What version of Perl have you got? Do 'perl -v'.
GTK+ shouldn't run makeenums.pl unless you have Perl 5.

It may be a problem with Irix make and the GTK+ Makefile.am
(e.g. REBUILD is set to '#' to comment out some dependencies, but
Irix make ignores it. Search for makeenums.pl in gtk/Makefile
and see if '#' appears in the dependencies lines above it.)

Quick fix - install GNU make, or perl 5.
