This is because LibGII doesn't use Glide.

First delete config.cache in the libggi directory, run the configure
command you have above, making sure that you do not misspell the
--with-extra* cflags, and check for the two lines:
checking for glide.h... yes
checking for glide/glide.h... no

At least one of them should say yes. If they doesn't, send me the
file config.log from the libggi dir. If they do, and compilation
still fails you might need a newer snapshot of libggi.

Sounds interresting.
