pkg-config error with emerge -aD gnome-python on Gentoo 2.6.9-gentoo-r6


I'm running Gentoo Linux, kernel version 2.6.9-gentoo-r6 with a few unstable packages (gaim, mplayer, not many) and the dependencies for gnome-python emerge perfectly. However, when I try to emerge gnome-python (2.6.1, unstable) I get the following:
Code:
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.4.0...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0' returned 2.4.9, but GTK+ (2.4.13)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GTK+. You may also be able to fix the error
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
*** to point to the correct configuration files
 no
configure: error: maybe you want the gtk-gnome-1-2 branch?
Although gnome-python 2.6.1 is unstable, I get the same error when I try to emerge the stable version. I'm going for unstable because rbscrobbler (rhythmbox audioscrobbler plugin) requires it, just to head off answers telling me to use the stable version.

I had this same problem when trying to emerge gtkglarea. I think the problem in your case is two conflicting versions of GTK+
Did you ever install GTK+ yourself? (without portage, by doing ./configure && make && make install)
If so, uninstall it, then remerge GTK+ through portage.

This problem went away when I did
Code:
emerge -aDu world
a few days ago.
Unfortunately, I didn't write down which packages were updated. Anyway, it works.
