Trying to install Gaim. gtk+ problem


I'm trying to install Gaim and when I run ./configure it tells me it cant find GTK+. But in /usr/lib there is the GTK+2.2.0 directory. Why isnt Gaim seeing this?

Why are you building from source? Why not use the .rpm package or even better doesn't mandrake include gaim in it's repos?

It's looking for the dev version, not the user version, which is what you have installed.
