[webkit-gtk] error in webkit gtk 2.2.3 stable version compilation

[Žan Doberšek]

In the first case you're using the default prefix, in which the glib
dependency is also likely installed. This doesn't present any problems when
the AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 macro is looked up.

In the second one you're using a non-default prefix in which, again likely,
no glib installation is present, so the ACLOCAL_FLAGS env should be used to
include the necessary macros that are installed inside a different prefix.

Setting ACLOCAL_FLAGS env to something like '-I /usr/share/aclocal' (or
whatever  */share/aclocal directory under the prefix under which glib is
installed) should work.

Cheers,
Zan
