gtk-engines and gnome-libs configure troubles

[Robert Schweikert <rjschwei mindspring com>]

When I try to run ./configure for gtk-engines and gnome-libs I get the
following error.

*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding GTK or finding the wrong
*** version of GTK. If it is not finding GTK, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to
point
*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if
that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it,
although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
***
*** If you have a RedHat 5.0 system, you should remove the GTK package
that
*** came with the system with the command
***
***    rpm --erase --nodeps gtk gtk-devel
configure: error: GTK not installed

But I did install gtk and the libraries are in /usr/lib

# ls /usr/lib/libgtk*
/usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0      /usr/lib/libgtk.a   /usr/lib/libgtk.so
/usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0.5.3  /usr/lib/libgtk.la

What in the world is this looking for? What test program? A path in the
message would really be nice.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert
