As Murray said, that was madness. You need to either

- port your program to the newer 2.4 API of gtkmm. Most active gtkmm-based 
apllications have done so long ago. It shouldn't be very difficult.

- see if your distribution still provides packages for the old 2.0 API version 
of gtkmm (something like 'gtkmm20') and use those instead. They should install 
alongside the 2.4 ones just fine.
