That's ok; this is a legitimate question.

The only problem is that the Gtk+ headers are not standard; you somehow
neet to tell g++ how to find the header files.  However, much of this work
is already taken care for you: there's a program called 'gtk-config' which
sets up the paths of gtk specific stuff.  So:

    g++ main.cpp `gtk-config --cflags`

should do the trick.  The backticks are intentional: we want the result of
gtk-config to replace whatever's between the backticks.

Good luck!
