Re: Where is my 'gtk.h' ?

[Tim Flechtner <timf trdlnk com>]

i think that in your makefile (are you using make?) you need to tell the 
compiler and linker where the gtk include files and libraries are 
located.  the 'standard' way to do this is:

for the include files:
  CFLAGS += `pkg-config gtk+2.0 --cflags`

and for the libraries:
  LDFLAGS += `pkg-config gtk+2.0 --libs`

note the back quotes (`), not the front (').

you say you are compiling a script, i usually take script to make an 
interpreted language (python, perl, etc).  are you in fact compiling c 
source code?
