Harish told you already for atk what to do, but it seems you didn't get
the point you where supposed to understand. So here goes the same
solution again, along with an explanation.

You need the *devel* packages for GTK+ and gail. Devel packages are
usually suffixed with -devel (RPM based distros) or -dev (Debian).

Devel packages are necessary, when *building* applications that depend
on it. They provide those things (like header files) that are needed
during build time only. Whereas the regular (non-devel) packages provide
the functionality to *use* the libraries and apps. This distinction is
made to not waste space. Users of modern distros don't tend to build a
lot of apps themselves.


As a rule of thumb, if anything breaks complaining about a particular
dependency not being met, please try searching for the relevant devel
package.

Another note: By using 'locate' to hunt for the mentioned .pc file you
would have noticed that file most likely to be not installed. A
courageous 'find' would have shown this for sure. So unless you find
that file, it definitely is not the path.
