Probably your installation is broken. 

Apparently your aclocal is not able to find automake, gettext and
Gtk/Gdk macros, probably because you have installed these tools to
different installation prefixes or because you have conflicting versions
installed to different prefixes simultaneously.

(You might want to check if you have different versions installed to
/usr/local and /usr)

The easiest work-around to this issue is to install these tools to the
same prefix.
