No error.  I am getting ready to start porting gnucash from gnome1 to
gnome2, and the porting guide,
http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/porting/ar01s05.html, recommended
executing pkg-config.  I wanted to verify that I had a clean
installation of gnome2 before I started.

pkg-config --modversion gdk-2.0 returned 2.0.6 on my system.  What does
this mean?  I would rather not upgrade, since we don't want to require a
later version of gnome2 than that shipped with Redhat 8.0, unless
necessary.
