So you are subverting the packaging system, overwritting
system libs and have probably already done this for more
than couple of them?  Uh, oh.

Is the exact error message?  Gtk+'s configure does not seem
to be able of printing this.

Please include the exact error message.  Include also the
relevant parts of config.log (while looking for the relevant
parts are you can also find out what the problem is, but
include all of it in the worst case).

But first of all restore the system to a sane state.  Restore
the overwritten files from rpm (--replacepkgs --replacefiles)
and then remove the bits that were not replaced by anything
from rpm (removing libs can render your system unusable
therefore the reverse order is likely to cause troubles).

Then choose a non-system prefix and install everything there,
see for example

Don't do that.

But if you insist, look up the error in the configure script
and either insert some debugging messages or try to manually
reproduce what it does to see why it does not like what it
gets.
