    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?
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    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)?
