That's because C++ has the word 'delete' reserved. Even in header files 
for external c routines quoted by
extern "C" {  ...the external c routines defined as c (not c++).. }
the word cannot be used. I got around the problem by changing it from
delete to delete_ in gtkentry.h 
Hopefully nothing seems to be broken so far. I compiled my  bastardish C++ 
program with C only gtk well. Only the -lgtk is needed at compilation time.
You may ask the developers if they changed it throughout the sources 
(which I doubt) or suggest some solution....
