You need a development package installed, not just the binary package.

In most GNU/Linux distributions, the library package 
(gtk+2.0-2.2.4-2mdk) contains the binary library.  This is needed to run 
any program using that library.  However, to *compile* a program using 
the library you also need the development package.  This is probably 
called gtk+2.0-devel-2.2.4-2mdk or something similar.  You will probably 
need other development libraries as well.

Without knowing your distribution, that's about all the help I can give you.
