Red Hat 8.0 shipped with development versions of both GTK+-1.2 (1.2.10)
and GTK+-2.0 (2.0.6)

'glade' is for GTK+-1.2, 'glade-2' for GTK+-2.0.

You are probably trying to link your program against GTK+-1.2
but using GTK+-2.0 commands.

The libglade-convert script can often be used to convert .glade
files to to version 2 format. (*)

(*) You shouldn't be using glade to generate code. Instead, use
    it to design your GUI and libglade to load the .glade file.
