are development releases of the upcoming GTK+-2.0 release. GTK+-2.0
itself needs recent versions of GLib-2.0, Pango and ATK.
GTK+-2.0 and friends can be installed side by side with GTK+-1.2.

are needed for some of the available plugins: TIFF, PNG, JPEG, MPEG,
perl, etc.

When ./configure fails
======================
'configure' uses pkg-config, a tool that replaces the old foo-config
scripts. The most recent version is available from
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/
'configure' tries to compile and run a short GTK program. There are
several reasons why this might fail:
* The 'gtk-config' script installed with GTK could not be found.
(This script is used to get information about where GTK is
* pkg-config could not find the file 'gtk+-2.0.pc' that gets installed
with GTK. (This file is used to get information about where GTK+ is
installed.)
Fix: Either make sure that this program is in your path, or set
the environment variable GTK_CONFIG to the full pathname to
this program before running configure.
Fix: Either make sure that this file is in the path where pkg-config
looks for it (try 'pkg-config --debug' or add the location of
gtk+-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH before running
configure.
* The GTK libraries were not found at run time. The details
of how to fix this problem will depend on the system:
