RPMs from where? (BTW, RPM's for 1.1.15 are now on ftp.gtk.org)

It would also be useful to know something about your
system. Are you using Red Hat 5.1? Red hat 5.2? SuSE? 
Solaris? (some people use rpm on Solaris...)

Hmmm, you cut out the important part of that sentence, which read, in
full, "See the file config.log for the exact error that occured."
Without knowing what error messages were written to the log
file, it is hard to know what is going wrong on your
system.
