Its best when reporting problems to report the _exact_ error
message which was produced.  (And, for that matter, exactly 
what you did to produce it.)

Eg, did configure tell you something like:

*** An old version of GTK+ (<something>) was found.
*** You need a version of GTK+ newer than 1.2.1. The latest version of
*** GTK+ is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org.
***
*** If you have already installed a sufficiently new version, this error
*** probably means that the wrong copy of the gtk-config shell script is
*** being found. The easiest way to fix this is to remove the old version
*** of GTK+, but you can also set the GTK_CONFIG environment to point to the
*** correct copy of gtk-config. (In this case, you will have to
*** modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf
*** so that the correct libraries are found at run-time))

That would seem to give some hints to solve your problem.
