Thanks Charlie. I did have Gambas3 installed, so I have removed it.

I am still getting puzzling results. For example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
checking for gb.image.imlib component with pkg-config... no
configure: WARNING: Unable to met pkg-config requirement: imlib2 >=
1.4.0
configure: WARNING: gb.image.imlib is disabled
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I had already installed 1.4.9-2 using dnf (I'm on Fedora 26):
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Installed:
  imlib2.x86_64 1.4.9-
2.fc26                                                    

Complete!
[root at ...3690... ~]# locate imlib2
/usr/lib64/imlib2
/usr/lib64/imlib2/filters
/usr/lib64/imlib2/loaders

/usr/share/doc/imlib2/TODO
--------------------------------------------------------------------

So I am still puzzled by the config being unable to find the files I
have installed - in this case imlib2. Is it something I have failed to
do?   "8-/

Kind regards,
