I've had problems similar to this on IRIX.  Shared libraries in the GTK and
GLIB packages are built using GNU libtool.  Unfortunately the version of
libtool used in GTK/GLIB 1.2.0 doesn't know about SGI shared library
versioning.  The simplest way to fix this is to grab the latest version of
libtool (1.3, I think) from ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libtool and install it.  (I
think libtool requires perl, so you'll need that too if you don't have it
already.)  Then type

    libtoolize --force

in the top-level GLIB and GTK source directories, and rerun ./configure.
Now when you build things the SGI library versions should be dealt with
correctly.

Hope this works -- I can't be completely sure if I remember the details
correctly.
