   PKG_CONFIG_PATH seems to be the culprit here.  With it trimmed to  
this:

/usr/local/geda-cairo/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

   ...I get:

checking for GDK... no
configure: error: Cannot find gdk, please make sure it is installed.
make: *** [libgeda/config.h] Error 1

   This suggests that the GDK installation it found earlier was  
elsewhere in the system.  Now, I've just installed gtk+  
v2.14.6...shouldn't GDK be a part of that?
