Fine.

I always use wget to download over HTTP.

This is the problem, IIRC you're missing the gnome-common package.

See comment above.  I don't know exactley what all is needed to get IM
compiled.  I usually do `autoreconf --install --verbose --force`
before configuring to ensure that ltmain.sh and the other autotool
scripts are updated to the most recent versions, then libtool takes
care of building shared libs automatically if the package supports
shared libs (that is ...LIBLDFLAGS = -no-undefined ...), but I
believe, IM has already Cygwin support and it should work out of the
tarball.
