True for glib
c , but not for glib.
Anyways, it depends on your distribution how to check for those libraries and how to install them if they are missing, so the first thing we need to know is which distribution you are using.

Thanks-
I am using SLES 11 SP3
In general, i am not sure how installations in linux are done. Would highly appreciate if some one can help me understand.
I have been using windows mostly and now trying to learn unix, so please tolerate my ignorance

for suse , use the terminal and zypper
this will show you gtk
Code:
su -
zypper info gtk
--- or search for it , it will be marked if it is installed ----
zypper se gtk
the search will output a long list of rpm's that can be installed
For example a partial output on my opensuse 12.3 install for " zypper se gtk "
Code:
zypper se gtk

Why are you trying to build it ?
nspluginwrapper should be installed by default .
And if not it is in the suse repos
Code:
su -
zypper in nspluginwrapper
and the "Compatibility Layer for Netscape 4 Plug-Ins " is installed
for running 32 bit plugins in 64 bit firefox /Mozilla
personally running the 64 bit plugins is WAY better

please post the repos that are installed
nspluginwrapper is in the oss repo
this is "SLES 11 SP3"
SUSE enterprise Linux Server - service pack 3
so you DO have the
REQUIRED support contract from Novell
have you looked into the tech support that you ARE already paying for
