Actually, that is not true, either.
The error message it prints should be interpreted as "one of the following
is not installed", rather than, "all of the following are not installed".

For example:  here is a snippet of a successful ./configure run on
a RedHat 7.0 box:

checking for ANSI C header files... yes
checking for orbit-config... /usr/bin/orbit-config
checking for ORBit - version >= 0.5.1... yes
checking for orbit-idl... /usr/bin/orbit-idl
checking for glib-config... /usr/bin/glib-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.9... yes
checking for gtk-config... /usr/bin/gtk-config
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.9... yes
checking if GNOME_FileSelector component is wanted... 
checking if we want the filtering system... 
checking for gnome-config... /usr/bin/gnome-config
checking for GNOME - version >= 1.2.8... yes
checking for additional GNOME modules...  gdk_pixbuf vfs libglade gnome
gnomeui oaf xml glib gtk 
checking for gconf-config... /usr/bin/gconf-config
checking for GCONF - version >= 1.0.4... yes
checking for oaf-config... /usr/bin/oaf-config
checking for OAF - version >= 0.6.5... yes
checking for xml-config... /usr/bin/xml-config
checking for gdk-pixbuf-config... /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-config
checking for GDK_PIXBUF - version >= 0.10.1... yes
checking for scrollkeeper-config... /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-config
checking for X11/extensions/Xinerama.h... yes

Using config source xml::/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults for schema
installation
checking for gcc version... 2.96.0
checking for PR_Init in -lnspr4... yes

..........


Now, the unsuccessful line:
checking for additional GNOME modules...  gdk_pixbuf vfs libglade
gnome gnomeui oaf xml glib gtk*** bonobox library is not installed

and the successful line:

checking for additional GNOME modules...  gdk_pixbuf vfs libglade
gnome gnomeui oaf xml glib gtk 

Show only one difference: "*** bonobox library is not installed"
What does that mean?  Damned if I know. Probably that the bonobox
library hasn't been installed. ;-)

Anyway, I interpret the messages coming out of configure (and
after reading configure.in and friends this helps), as
"one of the following is not installed or could not be detected".

Which one? Not sure. I am sure I have *most* of those installed,
but again, cannot at this time identify which of them.  I may, in
fact, have them *all* installed.  Who knows?
