Installing latest gtk+

["Andrew Dunkin" <Andrew Dunkin fire nsw gov au>]

I tried to install Adobe reader with following result;

[user myplace user]$ rpm -ivh AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
gtk2 >= 2.4.0 is needed by AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1

I searched the available packages on my Mandrake 10 system.
Packages containing gtk2 in their name were numerous.
The Web is full of variations of gtk+2, which gtk+2 application do I
need?

I THINK I need GTK+2.10.6 as per the following;
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2006-October/msg00003.html

The instructions for installation were at;
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html

I have 2 chances of making this work, neither are good.
Does anyone know where I can get an rpm file or a know of simpler way of
getting gtk+2.0 installed?
Apparently I also have to be careful not to erase gtk+1.x as other
applications on my system may need it.
I guess I have to alter path settings as well???
Is there an installation tutorial out there somewhere for newbies?

Installing the latest Adobe reader is becoming bigger than Ben Hur!
