OK, it appears that the problem is that you have a conflict between the 1.2
 and 2.0 versions of glib/gtk/whatever.  Note that ordering in your
 /etc/ld.so.conf doesn't affect which glib-config program you pick
 up...you're probably going to have to move the 1.2 versions ahead of the 2.x
 ones in your shell path or at least edit the ./configure such that you
 explicitly point to the same version of glib-config and gtk-config.  (i.e.,
 they both return the SAME version.) It's quite possible that there's a
 screw-up with your install and you can't compile gtk programs on it. 
 *shrugs*  I don't know; I've only used RH.  As a general rule, mixing and
 matching different *major* versions of
headers/libraries/etc is to be avoided.  I've always used the same
 glib/gdk/gtk versions w/o version skewing.

Connectiva's QA should be flogged for this one.  =)

Later,
Tony
