I believe the problem is that pkg-config can't find your gtk+. The gnome-config message is just a side affect. One way to solve this problem is to set a PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable pointing to the pkgconfig sugdirectories of each package that pkg-config will be used for. Below are some lines from a script that I used for building the gimp under Windows. I think you probably need something similar, but with your own solaris paths instead of my Windows paths. Perhaps there is some better/alternative way to solve this problem, but that's how I handled it.
