ignore that message. It's because pkg-config has some evil hacks 
to try to give some sort of backward compatibility mode.

no, you don't want to use the uninstalled gtk+-2.0.pc file.
Set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH to ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig where
${prefix} is whatever prefix you installed gtk+-2.0 in.
If you didn't specify a prefix at configure time, this is
probably /usr/local, thus

 setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
