when i go to type ./configure for gtk+2.4.9, i get this error

lib-2.0 >= 2.4.0' but version of GLib is 2.2.3

configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.4.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

what do i do?

First of all, if you are avearge user or joe user not technical one, you should not install big and complicated package like GTK+ by compiling source. Install them by yast or yum or apt-get or whatever tool that can determine dependencies correctly.

If you are technical one, install glib 2.4 ( because your version is 2.2 ).

You can get it here from:
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.4/

Dont forget to read this:

Ok, what distro are you using? My guess is you have glib 2.2 installed default then you upgrade your glib to 2.4 version but you install it in non standard prefix. Non standard prefix is /usr/local. Standard prefix is /usr.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/ur/glib/install/directory

you need to install the -devel rpms to compile software that uses libraries installed by rpm. Suse 9.1 will install gtk2 by default, so i'd guess that the reason you are trying to install gtk2 from source is that another source application says it can't find *that* either. gtk2-devel-2.4.7.rpm or something should be on your suse cd's.
