Both of you have the same problem: you need the -dev versions of the
packages installed also, so you get header files and the
configure-time script bits that we need.

If you have everything installed right (as Jan hinted) 'gnome-config
--libs gtkhtml' will print something reasonable.  If it doesn't, you
need to make sure SOME package installs a file called 'gtkhtmlConf.sh'
in $GNOME_PATH/lib, where GNOME_PATH is generally /usr if you
installed a Red Hat or Debian package.
