  Yes, I am using Redhat, 4.2 and I haven't installed any new C libraries,
well I tried to install glibc 2.x but it didn't work so I just uninstalled it
with rpm , do you think that what I did with that affected GTK ?,

    How do I make my header files match with my C library again?

    If I am not able to fix this problem, you said that installing the next
release will fix it, when will the next release be released?

Thanks owen :)
