Like configure says: it's just a warning.

The message means what it says: LibGII is not properly intalled
on your system. The whole point of autoconf is that configure
should be run in the same environment as the one you intend to
use the package in.

This is just expected - any libraries a package needs must be found
by both the compile-time linker and the run-time linker.

If you want to hack LibGGI3D you need the auto* tools anyway, if
you don't intend to do that you have no use for LibGGI3D.

Looks like a bug in the snapshot generation. I'll see to that it gets
fixed.
