In what way? --enable-introspection is the default for Gtk+-3 if gobject-introspection. You got your error because you didn't install Gobject-Introspection before you installed Gdk-Pixbuf. On the Gtk+-3 page it already says that if you want introspection support you need to install Gobject Introspection before you install Atk, Pango and Gdk-Pixbuf. If you don't need introspection support and you're getting an error because of Gobject-Introspection the obvious solution is to configure with --disable-introspection.
