I wonder how you got it installed at all: if you compiled it yourself, it
wouldn't have passed the GTK configure script; if you installed it as a
package, the package manager's (SuSE uses rpm, IIRC) dependencies are
horrible broken. Anyway, your system misses the X11 development headers,
if you install them, configure should be able to find them. The package is
called something like "x11dev" or "x11devhdr" (use your imagination, I'm
a Debian user ;-).

Oh, and try to upgrade to GTK 1.2.5 instead of 1.2.4 ASAP. I don't know if
there already is a package available for SuSE, the tarball was released
this morning.
