Something like this should not happen when using GARNOME. And in fact
from your previous post [1] I can tell that you indeed are not using
GARNOME but apparently trying to build GTK+ manually.

Please note that this list is dedicated to GARNOME, the GNOME build
utility. This is not the right place to ask about general GNOME or GTK+
usage/build issues.

Removing it wouldn't be my first try... Your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
PKG_CONFIG_PATH variables are probably out of sync.

What app are you actually trying to build? Does it by any chance require
GTK+ 1.2? Since GTK+ 2.10.11 has been found by pkg-config (I take it
Ed's help solved your previous issue) and 2.10.6 is installed as well, I
assume the latter being installed by your distro. With 2.10.6 around
updating to a more recent 2.10.x should not be necessary in almost any
case. If your goal is to build a single, custom GTK+ app, you should try
installing the needed devel packages provided by your distro, rather
than building every dependency yourself, too.
