"gtk/gtk.h No such file or directory" when configuring

I'm trying to install the extended preferences plugin for GAIM, but I am rather new and don't know what to do beyond "./configure, make, and make install." It's giving me this when i ./configure:

configure:3314: checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0

I do have GTK, though.

I looked around, but all I could find was a vague answer in a forum that seemed to require more prior knowledge with linux than I have.

it is telling you exactly what to do. I suggest you use your distro's package manager or Add remove software tool to search for gtk-devel or gtk libs and install them.

If he has Suse Linux 10.1 he has the same problem I do.
It's in "/opt/gnome/include"

How do I make sure compilers always look there along with the default locaiton?
