configure can not found gtk 2.10.0

I download pidgin 2.7.1 source from pidgin official website. But when ./configure source code, I obtain the message

Code:

checking for GTK... no
no
configure: error: 

You must have GTK+ 2.10.0 or newer development headers installed to compile
Pidgin.  If you want to build only Finch then specify --disable-gtkui when
running configure.

saying gtk 2.10.0 not existed; however, whilst checking /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0, seemingly everything needed is there. How can I make configure recognize it? Or where may I go wrong?

my env is debian unstable, kernel 2.6.32.8

Thanks for help.

you have the gtk .so's installed but NOT the source
the /usr/lib but not /usr/include

You need -dev packages to configure, libgtk2.0-dev .

Whats wrong with pidgin in sid?
pidgin

After installing gtk 2.10.0 dev package, it passes ./configure setting. Thanks for all your help.
