pygtk got installed with prefix /usr/local
_Your_ Python installation doesn't look there by default.

Which means /usr/local.

Try setting PYTHONPATH to
/usr/local/lib/python2.3:\
/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages:\
/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0

If that doesn't work, do

./configure --prefix=/usr

instead of

./configure

as Sridhar R already pointed out.
