Verify that you are using Glade2 with GTK-2.0.

Sorry I can not help you here.

GList             *tableNames = NULL;
GtkWidget         *tableCombo;

/* Initialize Table Name Combo Box */
tableCombo = lookup_widget(GTK_WIDGET(mainWindow),
"comboSelTable");
/* lookup_widget routine is provided by glade in
generated file support.c*/

/* tblname is array with names for combo box */
for(i = 0; i < NUMTBLS; i++)  
        tableNames = g_list_append(tableNames, tblname[i]); 

gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings(GTK_COMBO(tableCombo),
tableNames);

First, locate gtk-2.0 header files on the system with:
pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0

The header files are under <your path>/gtk-2.0/gtk.
