Where did you get the original version from? A package? Make sure to uninstall 
it before you start building parts from source. Otherwise it will get messy.

Yes, that is because you don't have the GTK devel files. You don't need them. 
You're a KDE guy. See below how to solve the problem.

Heisst das dann nicht 'Vahnenstange'?

Sure. Tell configure not to build GTK or FOX frontends.  Try

   ./configure --with-guis=qt4

I am on a 64 bit system and need

   ./configure --with-guis=qt4 --with-qt4-libs=/usr/lib64

Also, I install these things in /usr/local to avoid that a package manager 
touches those files. This works with

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-guis=qt4 --with-qt4-libs=/usr/lib64

YMMV (your mileage may vary)
