Problem with GTK+, installing?

["Ralph M. Los" <ralph boundariez com>]

Hi,

	I'm new to linux so when I installed my Mandrake system, I was
expecting somewhat of an easier time than this.

	Essentially, what has happened is that I installed gtk+-1.2.9
(from source via the make utilities) and glib-1.2.8 as well
(necessary!).  I am trying to desparately compile a package which
requirs GTK support, and am getting a "gtk/gtk.h : File not found".
When I do a locate gtk.h it appears in the /usr/local/include directory.
I also copied it to /usr/local/lib with no avail.  Yes, ld.so.conf has
the path to the gtk/gtk.h file(s), but this doesn't appear to be
working.

	I'm not sure where else to turn, I would REALLY like to get on
with using this linux-based system but at the moment I can't find anyone
who can help with this problem.

Thank you in advance,

Ralph Los
