Hi Charles . Thanks for the reply.

I am somewhat confused by GTK. Sometimes it is "GTK", sometimes "gtk", 
sometimes "Gtk" sometimes "gtk+"and sometimes version names start as 
"gtk+-". I am not sure if these are all referring to the same thing!  I 
seem to have both gtk 1.2 and 2.0 on my system  and the add package 
system says that "gtk+- devel" is installed but doesn't indicate which 
version. Various header and C files are in 
"/usr/share/Gtk_1.2/gtk+-1.2.10/gtk" but there was originally no 
"gtk-config" file anywhere. I printed out the old gtk-config file and 
the nearest I can find is "gtk-config.in" which seems to have come with 
gtk+-1.2.10 and be based on the old version.

I believe the old gtk-config tells the compiler which cflags to use and 
which libraries are needed but I am afraid my current level of knowledge 
cannot sort out this mess :-(

Can you tell me a couple of file names that gerb needs to be able to 
compile so that I can check if they are present anywhere on the system?
