Hello Jason,
I seem to have a similar problem to what you had.
I installed the gtk+-libraries and gtk+-devel in version 1.2.3 on a
linux-machine. And also configure doesn't recognize the gtk+-installation,
although gtk-config says gtk and gthread are installed. I also run ldconfig.
But it doesn't work :(

does this mean, that you copied the gtk+-libraries in these directories? I
don't know what you did exactly..
my gtk-libraries are in /usr/lib. There are many other libraries too, so I
think the directory should be ok.

I also run ldconfig..
When I run configure, I get the messages:
checking for gtk-config... /usr/bin/gtk-config
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
configure: error: GTK+ distribution not found.
The file config.log says:
configure:1529: checking for gtk-config configure:1564: checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0
configure:1665: gcc -o conftest -Wall -g -O2 -Iwiretap -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/$
/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -ldl: No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 1587 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
Do you know what's going wrong? Thanks for any help.
Kind regards
Bjoern
