This is the first time I heard about this.
I'll try to remove all the env variables referring to GTK and see if I'm 
still able to compile and run my code.
I also have a GTK_HOME, ad INCLUDE and a LIB varibles pointing somehow 
to my GTK installation. I don't really know who placed them there, it 
took me a while to have a working environment and I tried a bunch of 
different installer...
