the library version is just fine, believe me (I tried to explain the
libtool library versioning scheme in this mail but ended up confusing
myself too much). There has to be another reason. Why don't do you
have a look at config.log and check if has more details why the check
failed. Perhaps gtk-config is not in your PATH ?
