Hi all,

I'm running RH6.0, got libpcap, etc.  but ./configure keeps bombing out with:

checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved GTK since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the gtk-config script: /usr/bin/gtk-config

Or, if I use --disable-gtktest:

checking for GLIB - version >= 1.1.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved GLIB since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the glib-config script: /usr/bin/glib-config


Yet I just installed the latest glib & gtk+ rpms, checked ld.so.conf:

	/usr/lib
	/usr/local/lib
	/usr/i386-glibc20-linux
	/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib
	/usr/X11R6/lib
	/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib

and ran ldconfig. ldconfig -p | egrep 'glib|gtk'  reports:

        libgtk.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgtk.so
        libgtk-1.2.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0
        libglib.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libglib.so
        libglib-1.2.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0


glib-config --version reports:

	1.2.3

gtk-config --version reports:

	1.2.3

Any ideas why I'm unable to configure?  Did RedHat screw something up really 
badly with this latest 6.0 release that I'm unaware of?

Thanks for any insights anyone can provide!
