A quick check on my system (RH9) shows the directory as

/usr/include/gtk-1.2  (note the dash between gtk and 1.2).

Check man ldconfig to see if /usr/include is in our load path (I don't
see how it couldn't, but ...), and maybe add /usr/include/gtk-1.2 to the
/etc/ld.so.conf file as well.  Or, try addint /usr/include/gtk-1.2 to
your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
