It is a very common problem. (Annoyingly common!)

Did aclocal output warnings about not finding macros or duplicated macros?
That is usually the real problem.

You need to make sure that aclocal can find all the relevant m4 macros
and that there are no duplicate files installed.

The Glade FAQ on glade.pn.org has info about a very similar situation.
