adujsting PKG_CONFIG_PATH
I am facing problems when trying to install gtk+, I have downloaded all the required libraries, but the following output??
how should I deal with it?
thank you
checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.21.3 atk >= 1.13.0 pango >= 1.20 cairo >= 1.6) were not met:
Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.21.3' but version of GLib is 2.12.3
No package 'atk' found
No package 'pango' found
No package 'cairo' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

What is the distribution+version of linux that you are running, and how are you trying to install gtk+, from source, rpm, or yum repository?

Why not install with yum from the standard repositories? That will deal with missing dependencies automatically. The current gtk+ version available in the CentOS repositories is 1.2.10-56. You would only need to install from source if you need a more current version; however, that might cause problems with other installed applications.

So, you need an earlier version of gtk+ (2.4 vs 2.10)?
