I had the same problem in the 1.2.x series. I used a mounted source code
partition (/usr/shared/src), and tried to compile gtk on different
version of solaris (2.6, 2.7) on our network. I keep getting an error
on one machine until I manually deleted ./config.cashe. I assumed 'make
clean' would be enough - I think is a fair assumption.

I would really suggest that make clean deletes this files.
Is the makefile maintainer listening?

Otherwise the GTK install procedures (and GTK+) are great. I enjoy using
it.
