Problems compiling a source package

[Terry Polzin]

Folks;

I'm getting the following error when I run ./configure on a package tarball I 
wish to compile.

checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.6  gthread-2.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found 
in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory 
containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No 
package 'gtk+-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.6  gthread-2.0) not 
met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your 
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

I really do think I have everything I need I just don't know how to convince 
pkg-config.

rpm -qa | grep gtk
gtk+-1.2.10-57.fc7
gtkhtml2-2.11.0-4
gtksourceview-1.8.5-1.fc7
pygtk2-2.10.6-1.fc7
authconfig-gtk-5.3.15-1.fc7
gnome-python2-gtksourceview-2.18.0-1.fc7
pygtk2-libglade-2.10.6-1.fc7
gtk2-engines-2.10.2-2.fc7
gtkhtml3-3.14.3-1.fc7
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.14.3-4.fc7
gtkspell-2.0.11-3.fc7
gtk-sharp2-2.10.0-4.fc7
gtk2-2.10.14-3.fc7
GConf2-gtk-2.18.0.1-2.fc7
usermode-gtk-1.93-1.fc7

Any ideas?

THANKS,

Terry

Hi,

to compile something, you'll need -devel packages installed (gtk2-devel
for these case I think).

BTW, check if there is not already a RPM for the soft you want to compile ;)
