Make sure you have pkg-config installed and your PyGTK installation is 
setup with the ".rc" file in the right place.  I believe the Gimp build 
process uses pkg-config to "sniff out" the various versions of the 
support libraries it needs.  You just might need the PyGTK development 
packages installed if your pkg-config installation is good.

Peace...
