You don't have gtk-devel installed

You don't have gcc installed

Or alternatively, when you su to root you didn't use the - so you have an
incomplete $PATH

If you do have the above packages installed and you still get the error, exit
from root and go back to root with

su -

then you will have a better $PATH

If this is the first time you've compiled anything there are likely more
packages you are lacking. Have patience and you'll be fine
