gtk-config was for GTK+ version 1.x. From 2.0 on, the version can
be interrogated by

pkg-config --modversion gtk+    (for version 1.2.x)

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0  (for version 2.x - the 2.0 is
misleading)

use --modversion, not --version (the latter will give you the version of
pkg-config)
