In SuSE 8.1 with the same layout, the program gtkterm configures and makes without problems. from config.log...... I made the symlinks /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk -> /usr/include/gtk etc. configure:7086: checking for pkg-config configure:7104: found /usr/bin/pkg-config configure:7117: result: /usr/bin/pkg-config

I even made a symlink /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so to /usr/lib/libgtk+-2.0.so. checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... 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+ is incorrectly installed. configure: error: *** GTK >= 2.0 not installed *** Help appreciated.
