odd, your gtk is obviously not linking against libgobject.so.
does this work for you:
$ glib-config --version
1.3.1
$ glib-config --libs gmodule gobject
-L/usr/local/lib -rdynamic -lgmodule -lgobject -lglib -ldl

if yes, then we have to figure why gtk's configure.in is partying
out on your system...
