This maybe occurs because configure is unable to find your
Gnome-libraries and header files.
You should use --with-gnome-includes and --with-gnome-libs to specify
these paths. 
Another problem can be caused by the configuration utility gnome-config
which should be 
in your PATH. It depends on your installation and OS where these things
really are, but provided the gnome directory is "/somewhere/gnome" the
following tiny script worked for me:

---------------------

#!/bin/sh
PATH="/somewhere/gnome/bin":$PATH #path to config-gnome
export PATH

cd /homes/me/compile/R-1.4.1/

# I also believe --with-gnome doesn't work without --with-x

./configure  --with-x  --with-gnome\ 
--with-gnome-includes=/somewhere/gnome/include \
--with-gnome-libs=/somewhere/gnome/lib 

--------------------

In such a case more information about your OS and setup would be
helpfull 
(e.g. the output of uname -a ).
