This does not help either. Now I have tried so many things... For example I
set PKG_CONFIG instead of PKG_CONFIG_PATH and the I got the message my
pkg-config was too old version 0.5 or greater was required.

I should need the exct command I have to call to install GTK2 (and
additionally Gnome2). The intructions on the site www.gtk.org are not clear for a
newbie.

The funny thing is, I am considering using Linux instead of MS-Win2K to be
in a better position to develop own software and now I cannot even start!
