This error is because g-wrap 1.9.6's g-wrap-config uses pkg-config internally
to do its work.  But g-wrap-config is "stupid" and doesn't set the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH properly, so if you installed g-wrap into a location
that pkg-config doesn't look by default then g-wrap-config wont find
the g-wrap config file and that will throw this error.

Try adding your g-wrap --prefix pkgconfigdir appropriately to PKG_CONFIG_PATH
so that g-wrap-config can find the g-wrap configuration files.  I think
the problem here is that the configure script isn't getting a good
value for G_WRAP_MODULE_DIR and as a result it cannot find g-wrap.scm
