From a Redhat 9 "Workstation" install with "everything" checked, the 
environment that I have setup is as follows:

1.wxGTK – 2.4.0 (optional, but needed to make Anjuta happy)
2.Anjuta – 1.0.2
3.libsigc++ -- 1.2.4 (required for gtkmm)
4.gtkmm – 2.2.1
5.glade-2.0.0.tar.gz
5.libglademm – 2.0.1

I also had to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to make Anjuta happy.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Also download the "Alpha" version of MySQL for database support. 
Install from the RPM, not the "binary distribution".  I'm using Anjuta 
to write C++ code, using glade-2 to create the user interface .glade 
file, and libglademm to read the .glade/xml file.

We are converting a MS Visual Basic application to Linux, and this setup 
is working great.  The c++ code generated by glade-2 was too difficult 
to map to this conversion project, so we only use the glade file.

We are creating a GTK only application, not a gnome application.  I 
really don't understand the difference, but the GTK kit seems to have 
everything we need.

Good Luck,

Jeff
