GTK+ hates me

I am very new to the linux environment. I have been interested in it for years but have just recently had the courage to pop that install disk into my PC. Because of it's ease of installation, I installed Mandrake 9.1 and I'm running KDE3.1 for my GUI. Right now I'm trying to conquer the world of building and installing software using the shell... I've read all the documentation and I think I'm understanding it correctly, but I'm having no luck.

Here's what's happening...
In order to install programs like GAIM and GIMP I have to have GTK+ and Glib installed (according to the error i recieved trying to install GAIM). I have downloaded and extracted the tar files for Glib, I ran ./configure, make, and make install and I didn't recieve any errors so I assumed that it installed correctly (all of this was done from the /usr/local/src directory with root btw). I then tried to install GTK+ and it tells me that I have to have GLIB installed!!! Which leads me to believe that I didn't install Glib correctly. So... I find myself sitting late at night staring at the shell dumbfounded. I'm sure i'm missing something that is obvious to users that have been running linux for longer than 4 days, so I would really appreciate it if somebody could point out what i'm doing wrong!

You can even point & laugh and call me names - i'm ok with it ;-) THANKS ALL!
