Unable to install gtk2.8




Hi,

I have RHEL 4 installed on my machine, and I want to update the installed gtk to version 2.8.1 . However each time I try to start the configure script, I got a configuration error stating that I have to install glib, atk, cairo and pango libraries with newer versions than the ones currently installed (see the attached txt file).  I have installed glib2.8, atk1.8, cairo 1.0.4 and pango 1.9.1 but it seems that the configure script of gtk can't find them. it finds only the older versions of these libraries. I have found that the version number of glib, atk, cairo and pango lib is hard coded in the configure script , and I think this might be the problem. Would you please advise if there is any workarounds I can make to install gtk.



Thanks in advance

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively you may set the BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config.  See the pkg-config man page for
more details.
