This looks OK. The problem seems to be that your header files don't
match your C library. (iswctype is a function that sn't mentioned 
specifically in the GTK sources, so you header files must define
another function using that function. But your C library doesn't
seem to have iswctype)

Are you using RedHat 4 or 5?
If you are using 4.x, have you installed any upgrades to your C library?

It is't obvious to me. The next version of GTK will handle the
wide character identification functions in a different manner, so
if nothing else, hopefully that will fix your problem.
