Maybe you have stale files from previous attemps? I did use that
installer (the glade one) and it works. I got glade working and the
examples in GTK work (including the rotating pixmap example) I am
actually running under VMWare, but I don't think that makes any
difference ... actually, it helps making sure you've got a clean OS. I'm
now compiling gtkmm
Wait, I actually used the development installer, maybe you should give
it a try: gtk-dev-2.12.9-win32-2.exe. In any case, you should try
uninstalling first all the failed attempts, IMHO.
Good luck!
