Assuming your Linux-source tree is at /usr/src/linux, issue the following as
root:

cd /usr/src/linux
make symlinks
cd /usr/include
ln -s ../src/linux/include/asm asm
ln -s ../src/linux/include/linux linux
ln -s ../src/linux/include/scsi scsi

This is a FAQ - since around gtk+-0.99.6 (?!) glibconfig.h is in
/usr/lib/glib/include/, for your convenience there is a utility called
"gtk-config" which will spit out the cflags (--cflags) or library flags
(--libs), so you can do

     gcc -c `gtk-config --cflags` mysrc1.c
     gcc -c `gtk-config --cflags` mysrc2.c

     gcc `gtk-config --libs` -o myprog mysrc1.o mysrc2.o

Bye, Nils
