There are many glibmm versions in the subdirectories of 
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glibmm/

Do you know which program prints those error messages? gmmproc? The perl 
interpreter? Another program?
I can't find any of those three messages in the source code of gmmproc. 
(I admit that I have searched in the latest git version of gmmproc, and 
not in version 2.28.2.)

In what context are those paths specified? A typical call to gmmproc 
from a Makefile in glibmm/glib/src in my Ubuntu Linux system is
  /usr/bin/perl -I../../tools/pm -- ../../tools/gmmproc -I 
../../tools/m4 --defs . balancedtree . ../glibmm

A typical call to gmmproc from a Makefile in gtkmm/gtk/src is
  /usr/bin/perl -I"/opt/gnome/lib/glibmm-2.4/proc/pm" -- 
"/opt/gnome/lib/glibmm-2.4/proc/gmmproc" -I ../../tools/m4 -I 
/opt/gnome/lib/pangomm-1.4/proc/m4 -I /opt/gnome/lib/atkmm-1.6/proc/m4 
--defs . widget . ../gtkmm
