Can you send me you config.log file?

The earliest supported version of GTK+ is 2.12, but compiling with
this version will disable some corner features. However it should
compile and work.

This is a bug from me, as the current check for that symbol is for
version 2.18.0 when in fact it appeared in version 2.20. I'll correct
this ASAP. In the meanwhile, you can replace the checks in the
libgda-ui/data-entries/widget-embedder.[ch] files by:
GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2,20,0)
