I have gtk+-1.2.10-39 and glib-1.2.10-16, but I appear to have 2.0 headers installed. Fedora Core 4. I figured this out by looking at /usr/include. Anyway, I compile like this:

        gcc -o <whatever> <whatever.c> `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 --cflags gtk+-2.0`

I get a clean compile every time with samples from the book I'm running through just now.

To confirm, run the pkg-config --libs... command by itself and see what results you get. This or some close analog should work for you.
