Sorry but no answer yet. I get the same problem on with my
Redhat 5.2 system and so far I haven't solved it. I also have
kde-support installed. I noted, however, in kde documentation
that various libraries (including libgif) are not included in
binary rpm's where the system itself supplies them.

Looking at my lib directory (I'm going by memory here so it may
not be exact) I noticed that libgif.3.0 (is this the right library)
is linked to another lib (I think it was something like libungif,
maybe dealing with gif licence problems I don't know).

Assuming this is the correct library all I need to know is how to
get configure to recognize it. Unfortunately I'm not an auto-config
expert and I'm not sure exactly what is being looked for when I get
the giflib30 missing error.

If anyone knows how to fix this it could save me a lot of
experimentation and I would be very grateful.
