./configure by default sets up the install prefix to be /usr/local, so
it won't collide with the system gtk.  You can use --prefix=/usr in
configure to put gtk in /usr, overwriting your system libraries.  Or,
before compiling the rest of gtk and xine, set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
variable to point to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.  That way you can keep
the old and new libraries if you're not prepared for the consequences of
overwriting the system default gtk.  Does this help?
