i'm so confused by gtk

[psalzman landau ucdavis edu]

hi all

i'm ./configurating gtop and get the message:

*** 'gtk-config --version' returned 1.2.2, but GTK+ (1.2.3)
*** was found! If gtk-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GTK+. You may also be able to fix the error
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If gtk-config was wrong, set the environment variable GTK_CONFIG
*** to point to the correct copy of gtk-config, and remove the file config.cache
*** before re-running configure
no
configure: error: GTK not installed


what is the difference between gtk and gtk+?   and i see there's a gtk- too.

i installed a package called gtk+-1.2.2, so i don't know where GTK+ (1.2.3)
is coming from.

once and for all, which gtk package should i install for gnome, and how do
i get rid of the 'other' gtk packages?

thanks to all!
pete
