Actually it's quite simple.  The compiler isn't finding the includes for
GTK+ that's why you have all those errors.  Try running "gtk-config
--cflags" yourself in the prompt and check to see if the includes are in
the reported directories.  (Usually gtk includes are in
/usr/local/include/gtk)

Have you tried running ldconfig like the error message says?

If the hints i gave you fail send me the output of these commands and i
should be able to help you further:

gtk-config --cflags
gtk-config --libs
imlib-config --cflags-gdk
imlib-config --libs-gdk

ldconfig -v

ls -l /usr/local/include
ls -l /usr/local/lib

cat /etc/ld.so.conf



If all else fails you can install the .rpm's or .deb's or whatever your
distribution uses as a package format of gtk+ and imlib and try with
those.

Anyway, this is a gtk+ installation problem.  It is not directly related
to the gtk+ client itself.

Hope this helps,
