The application you are trying to build requires GTK+ 1.2.x,
not GTK+ 2.0.x. Unfortunately an application coded for 1.2.x
wont compile "out of the box" against version 2.0.x. Either
check the applications webpage to see if the author[s] have
released a version ported to the new GTK+ libraries, or
install the latest 1.2.x version (which don't conflict with
version 2.0.x).
