AFAIK GGI includes are normally installed in /usr/include/ggi; they 
certainly are here. What GGI version do you have? What platform? The 
file you'd probably want to look at is config/ggi.m4, which contains 
the FRESCO_GGI_CHECK function, which is where it is failing.

I'm not at my Fresco-installed machine right now; there's a .log file 
which contains any results from configure, perhaps look in there, it 
may explain why it can't find it.

Good luck getting it working :)
