I'm not a Fedora user, so don't have an easy way to look up the right
answer unfortunately.

When compiling software, you need the -dev or -devel versions of
libraries your program links against.

It would seem that you have the required gtk installed, but is the
"gtk-config" program present?

yum install 'gtk+-devel'

ought to have done the trick in getting that. I wasn't sure from your
listing whether the packages below are ones you have installed, or
possible versions available?

Best wishes,

Peter C.
