then run configure (../configure - with -gtk)

Are you sure this shouldn't have been ""./.configure -gtk".

By default, unless you have modified your path, Linux (unix and OS X) does not search in the "current working directory" for a program, script, or executible. If you do modify the PATH environment variable, put the dot at the end of the path. It is a security hole if it is any place but the end.

Most of the "build" packages have configure as ".configure". It is prefixed with a dot so it is a hidden file.
