GTK is a base part of the Ubuntu 12.04 system.  The default GUI
interface (Gnome 2) depends on it. Do not replace (overwrite) this
version of GTK.  If you're trying to install GTK3, you will have to
compile the entire stack from source and install it to an *alternate*
location on your system (say /opt).  The following site describes the
build process:

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-building.html

Even still, GTK 3 might depend on libraries that simply aren't available
on 12.04, since it's so old.  12.04 is a long-term support release, but
that doesn't mean it has the latest software libraries in it.
