I think I have all the dependancies worked out, but pkg-config might be
looking in the wrong places for libraries as it's reporting versions
that dont match successful compilations, and reporting some installed
libs as not installed.

The $PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable reports
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig path as the first one to check. Is that
overridden by paths that come after it? That's the only thing I can
think of at this point that could cause this behavior.

TIA.

do yourself a favor. use garnome. If you want a detailed map of
dependencies, then use jhbuild and generate a list. It shows what to
install, in what order. But, really, use garnome and read their newsgroup.
I'm working with the maintainers on developing a method of using system
libraries as well as garnome installed ones. It will be great.

As for your problem, you seem to have installed multiple versions of certain
libraries. A real no-no. Upgrade existing packages. Don't have multiple
versions installed since both /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib will conflict.

I get around this by putting all my Gtk2 (Gnome) stuff in /usr
not /usr/local.

Whenever I compile any Gtk2, it's "./configure --prefix=/usr"

That way, it always uses /usr/lib/pkgconfig, and I have very few
problems.

Of course, I compile everything myself. If you start installing
pre-built packages, some may get thrown into /usr/local/lib
