Actually, Shahms is right: neither gtkmm nor gnomemm is included
in RedHat 7.x release CDs. libsigc++ is. However, the fact that it is
not included should not stop any RedHat user from using gtkmm.
Grab stable tarballs from http://gtkmm.sourceforge.net/ (BTW, nice
homepage facelift) and build RPM packages yourself with:

% rpm -tb --target=i686 <packagename>.tar.gz

While your are at that, also get glademm - having Glade/glademm handy
really help in learning gtkmm/gnomemm.

I do on a daily basis. It works just fine.
