After helping people with GTK+ compilation problems for over 6 years now, I can tell you with some certainty that the problems that result from the configure script *not* finding the libraries it should find are far simpler and easier to fix, then the problems from it finding libraries that it shouldn't find. There are only two configurations that I consider supportable: - Everything in a single prefix. (The GTK+ installation docs show this.) - Everything in the system install locations. Many other configurations are possible, but diagnosing what is going wrong with other configurations usually takes an expert with access to the system.
