One important thing about --with-gtk is that it's really
--with-gtk=/path, which allows you to specify which gtk to use.
(--with-gtk is a degenerate case which says use gtk wherever you can
find it.)
A --with option is not supposed to take a directory name argumemt.
>From the GNU coding standards:
Do not use a @samp{--with} option to specify the file name to use to
find certain files. That is outside the scope of what @samp{--with}
options are for.
--with-gtk should mean "use GTK" and nothing else.
