Sadly I've been there and installed all the -dev things(including libxext-dev) and still no joy. I did have a look over the config.log but can't really glean anything else from it. 

Here's a link to the config.log: http://pastebin.com/m36ca5a7d 

Thanks :)

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-applications/57759-gtk-wont-compile-cant-find-xopendisplay.html 

try installing libxext-dev
