  But, when you uninstalled 1.1.3, weren't all the files common to
1.2.6 and 1.1.3 removed? (I don't know, I would say "yes"). So when
you config gtk-1.2.6, it doesn't find these files.


  Maybe you could try :

  cd FOO/glib-1.2.6
  make install              # Install glib-1.2.6 over again
  cd BAR/gtk+-1.2.4
  make clean
                            # Clean thouroughly the configuration
                            # based on the 1.1.3 and 1.2.6
			    # mix. Eventually, you may delete these
			    # ".hidden" files
  mv config.h config.h.hidden
  mv config.cache config.cache.hidden
  
  ./configure 


  ... etc ...


  Good luck,
