Default error installing software

Hello i have downloaded the latest Gimp version, but there are some
requirements that i need.
I must have a Glib 2.4*, pango 1.4.0, atk and gtk+ 2.4.4 or better.

I have manage to install Glib and atk.

for me to install gtk+ i must have all of the others installed first,
but im having problems installing pango, here is the error output:
> checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0... no
> *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
> *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the

i have the glib 2.4.4 installed, i have tryied to export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

or export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

but i can't install the program, it allways returns the same error, does
anyone here knows what i have to do, to make this to work?

Thanks

What version of Slackware and gimp is it? I've compiled gimp-2.3.1 on a
Slackware 10.1 box and all I needed to install first was pygtk-2.4.1.
