I am talking about the binary devel package of helix. A quick look at
helix ftp site(ftp.helixcode.com) shows:
ftp> ls gnome-libs*
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
-rw-r--r--    1 1002     2000      2314158 Jan 30 00:07

-rw-r--r--    1 1002     2000           65 Jan 30 03:38

-rw-r--r--    1 1002     2000           65 Jan 30 03:38
gnome-libs-devel-1.2.11-0_helix_1.i386.rpm.sig
226 Transfer complete.
ftp> pwd
257 "/pub/ximian/distributions/RedHat-7" is current directory.

So, I woudl suggest getting:
ftp://ftp.helixcode.com/pub/ximian/distributions/RedHat-7/gnome-libs-devel-1.2.11-0_helix_1.i386.rpm
Which you should install. This package contains the headers and all the
necessary files to develop against gnome-libs(thus the "-devel"
package...). Of course, you will need all the packages this package
depends upon.

regards,
Mathieu
