Hmmm, the question is, did you do a 'make install' ? If not,
then you need to.

If you installed GTK+ with the default prefix, /usr/local, then
presuming that /usr/local/bin is in your path, you shouldn't
have to do anything.

If you configured GTK+ with:

 --prefix=/some/odd/place/for/gtk

Then you can do:

 GTK_CONFIG=/some/odd/place/for/gtk/bin/gtk-config ./configure

Note, that you'll also need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
appropriately. (Depending somewhat on what system you are
running on).

Hope that helps,
