After having a look into the configure script, i could solve the problem
myself.
configure script checks for gtk-config which is located in /opt/gnome/bin
and therefore not in the path automatically.
So the right order would be:

1) install glib-devel and gtk+-devel packages
2) export PATH=/opt/gnome/bin:$PATH
3) configure --with-extraincdir=/opt/gnome/include
4) make
5) install a skin
6) ./gmplayer
