Help with GTK Installation

Ok, I'm trying to install gtk 2.2.0 and I'm stuck on a config script error. The configuration scripts halts telling me that it can't find libX11. I'm a newbie to linux so I really don't know what to do. I went into "/usr/X11R6/lib" and found the following files: libX11.so, libX11.so.6, libX11.so.6.2. I don't know if this error has something to do with pkg-config file. Here are the last couple of lines from the configure script before it dies:

Package xft was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xft.pc'

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

No package 'xft' found

checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no

configure: error: *** libX11 not found. Check 'config.log' for more details.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! I could eventually post the entire config.log file up here, but it's pretty long.

**BTW, I'm pretty sure I already have GTK 1.2.0 or something installed...Running Mandrake 9.1 system. Should I first do an uninstall this? How would I do that?

Hi All,

I also having the same error. Last few lines of configuration error was like this.

checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes

checking for XOpenDisplay... no

configure: error: *** libX11 not found. Check 'config.log' for more details.

Please reply us as soon as posible.

Manoj.
