fsv install problem with gtk+


so it tells me gtk isn't installed, but it kinda is...and its the same version so i'm just scratching my head here..
Code:
[root@dustyfedora fsv-0.9]# ./configure 
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
>>>>>checking for blah blah blah<<<<<<<<
checking for gtk-config... no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.1... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
configure: error: Cannot find proper GTK+ version
[root@dustyfedora fsv-0.9]# rpm -qi gtk+

The gtk+ package contains the GIMP ToolKit (GTK+), a library for

well.

Two things. First, why are you configuring or building as root? Bad idea, you only need to be root to install. Second, do you have a file named gtk-config in /usr/bin because that's what the configure script is looking for? You probably only have the runtime files for gtk installed and you need the development files.

You need libgtk-(devel) if I'm not mistaken.
