configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.7) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

Hi charm200 and welcome to LQ.

thunderbird-2.0.0.5-1.fc7.src.rpm is not a binary rpm. Its a source rpm (hence *src.rpm) for developers to look at or for individuals to rebuild into a binary. The right rpm would be thunderbird-2.0.0.5-1.fc7.i386.rpm. Better still follow macemoneta's advice and install thunderbird using YUM.

To convert (compile) the source rpm to a binary you will need to download all the necessary header (-devel) rpms as well as the appropriate development tools. You would then use the rpmbuild command to create the binary.

For your purposes (since you are not modifying the software), simply downloading the binary will save considerable effort.
