Have you installed all of the automake rpms?   They can all be 
installed, i.e. they are not either/or.

    automake-1.9-1.noarch.rpm
    automake14-1.4p6-9.noarch.rpm
    automake15-1.5-10.noarch.rpm
    automake16-1.6.3-2.noarch.rpm
    automake17-1.7.9-2.noarch.rpm      <<-- this is probably what you 
need for gtk+
