perl-gtk installation failing on Solaris kumar 03-20-2007

Hi All,

I might be asking a very dumb quesion, but I am new to perl and perl-
modules.

I am using Solaris Nevada (Solaris 11). I am running Java Desktop
System. So I assume I have GTK installed on my system.

When I try to install perl-gtk on my system, I am getting following
error
----------
[0] root@ak47:Gtk-Perl-0.7009# perl Makefile.PL
[16:39:30]
Can't exec "imlib-config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL
line 141.
Can't exec "gdk-pixbuf-config": No such file or directory at
Makefile.PL line 141.
Can't exec "gnome-config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL
line 141.
Can't exec "gnome-config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL
line 141.
Submodule gdkimlib is needed to build gnome but it appears
it's misdetected or not selected for compilation.
Available modules: gtk gtkglarea gdkimlib gdkpixbuf gtkhtml gtkxmhtml
gnome glade applets gnomeprint.

You can disable the inclusion of a module using --without-pkgname.
If a package is misdetected and you still want it to compile
use --with-pkgname-force.
To disable autodetection of modules use --without-guessing.
---------------------

What could be the problem. I have not tried to install GTK beacause it
has to be there as Java Desktop System (JDS) of solaris is based on
Gnome.


I also tried to use CPAN to install perl-gtk but could not succeed.
When I say 'test Gtk', I got the same error.

Please suggest what should I do next?
