I wonder if there is other way to get newer version of gtkmm and all its dependencies instead of manually install them?
(a) You can use "alien" and convert the .deb package to .rpm package
and try installing it - caveat not recommended but worth a try
(dependencies from the "other" distro can be a nightmare to resolve).
(b) build the package from source. many tar ball nowadays come with a
.spec file to build the RPM package.
