You also may want to search in this maillist.

gtk+-2.0.7 has a bug in gif image loader, consider gtk+-2.0.8.
By the way its better to keep "devel" with the same version
(you are using 2.0.7 and 2.0.6)

'gtk-config' is for gtk+-1.2.
Gtk+-2.0 uses 'pkg-config' instead of gtk-config. Its more
general tool (glib, atk, pango and almost all  gnome2 stuff
uses it). Try 'pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0' and read
the manual about it.
