Please note that just installing a package like libgtk2.0.rpm is enough for runnning programs, but for compiling them you need an additional package, often named as libgtk2.0-dev.rpm or something like that. I don't know exact names because I use Debian which uses .deb packages instead of .rpm packages. I hope this helps, Tommi
