I also had this same problem with slackware 10.  Slackware 10 ignorantly
installs the gtk2 libs even when you've opted not to install X11.  This
alone wouldn't be a problem, but the asterisk makefiles use the presence
of gtk2 to determine whether or not to build the X11 components.

I just took the lazy way out (hey -- it's slackware, right?) and installed
the X libs on the box.  That's all it took.
