Dear Micheal, here is the information that you requested:

My distribution was originally Red Hat 6.0, now Red Hat 6.2.

Compiler: egcs-2.91.66
Binutils: (sorry, forgot how to check that!)
ldd: ldd (GNU libc) 2.1.3
pkg-config: 0.15.0
glib: 1.2.10 and 2.2
atk: 1.0.1a
pango: 1.0.1a

The glib 2.2 I compiled from source.

Note that I'm installing GTK 2 along with GTK 1 (the original)
per several "experienced" users' request, because we wanted to
test some of our GTK programs with GTK 2.
