Because it is looking for the -devel packages.  You need to install
gtkhtml3-devel-<mumble>. 

General rule-of-thumb: if you are *building* a package from source you
are going to need -devel packages.  The configure script is looking for
things like header files and such like, which are installed as part of
the -devel package.
