[Freeciv-Dev] problems with configuring the freeciv code to compile the gtk client

[Cyrill von Planta <pla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi recently tried to compile my own client 

however the configure script complains:
.
.
.
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.5... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
.
.
.

i have installed gtk 1.2.10 and tried following things:

 ./configure --with-gtk-prefix=/usr/include/gtk-1.2
 ./configure --with-gtk-prefix=/usr/include/gtk-1.2/gtk/include
./configure --with-gtk-prefix=/usr/include/gtk-1.2/gtk

and 

export GTK_CONFIG=/usr/bin/gtk-config , this binary exists there
export GTK_CONFIG=/usr/bin/

everything with no effect


does anyone know what's wrong? i would love to contribute to freeciv in
the future but its hard when i cannot even compile the existing stuff...

thanks cyrill
