checking for gtk-config... no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.

Well, you give very little information to go on. Please provide the following;
 
1. What distro and version of Linux are you using?
 
2. What version of gtk is currently on your system?
 
3. Did you consider trying a binary package for xdialog, rather than installing from source?
 
The messages that you are getting tell you that either;
 
1. gtk is not in your path.
 
2. gtk 1.2 is not installed on your system.
 
If you have a newer gtk on the system, than this apparently will not work This is an older library.
 
See the xdialog faq page, question 12.
 
Also see this reference.
