Version (for debian) :
dpkg -l libgtk2.0-0 (man dpkg if the output is unclear to you)
gtk2 does not use gtk-config anymore, but the more general purpose 
pkg-config (usually part of a standart debian installation)

You can have different versions of gtk without conflict.

You can also install the debian package (apt-get install libgtk2.0-0), 
but IIRC the standard debian package was not compiled to support the 
frame buffer.
