Gtk may be easier to configure under Linux because Linux distributions are
packaged with everything a decent Unix should have (I mean a complete GNU
software suite :o). Look at SunOS and Solaris: still have X11R4 and
OpenWindows and even Motif and CDE are linked to X11R4, which means no
decent i18n support :-P. 

I compiled GTK on solaris with X11R6.1 and X11R6.4. The unique special
trick was the CC="gcc -Dsun -DSVR4" for configure, which I think should be
added to the distribution, nothing else.
