Last time I built from the source (which has been a while, 
admittedly, and predates the git migration), it was necessary to run

./autogen.sh

in the libwpd directory before running configure. (There may or may 
not be a message from Fridrich in the list's archives explaining that 
to me.)  I assume this is still the case with the git-based source 
tree.

Also, I assume you've built the dependencies (glib, which in turn 
depends on pkg-config and gettext; libgsf should no longer be 
required  for 0.9 if I remember things correctly), too?  (I forget if 
libwpg had additional dependencies; I haven't built it in a while, 
either, and haven't had to bootstrap a new Mac that would cause me to 
have to re-set-up my libwp* stuff.)
