Gratitude and Questions...

Thanks you so much for your replies! At the time I took your advice and found an RPM and made my life a bit easier. Now I'm understanding the way linux's filesystem is structured a bit better, so I'm trying to build GTK-Gnutella (i can't find an rpm for it) and I'm running into the same kind of problem. I have tar'd the source files for the program into /usr/share/gtk-gnutella-0.92c . Every time I run ./configure in this directory I eventually get the following error:

Checking for gtk-config... no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
***The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
***If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to gtk-config.

I have the following directories pertaining to gtk:
/etc/gtk
/etc/gtk-2.0
... however, I do not have a gtk-config or gtk_config file.

So... i have the following questions:
1 - isn't GTK required for KDE to run? I'm currently running 3.1!
2 - I've seen many references to "making sure something is on you PATH". In windows you can edit the path line and add what you want, is this pre-set in linux or is it configurible... or does it mean something altogether different?
3 - Is this software possibly written before gtk-2.0 and therefore doesn't know how to recognize it?

I'm really confused and frustrated... any help would be greatly appreciated! THANKS ALL!!!

gtk-config

GTK+(1) 							      1.2.10								   GTK+(1)

NAME

       gtk-config - script to get information about the installed version of GTK+

SYNOPSIS

       gtk-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags]

DESCRIPTION

       gtk-config  is a tool that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs
       that use GTK+. It is also used internally to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with GTK+.

OPTIONS

       gtk-config accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of GTK+ on the standard output.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GTK+ program.

       --cflags
	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GTK+ program.

       --prefix=PREFIX
	       If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that GTK+ was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and
	       --libs  options.  This  option  is  also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified
	       before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix=PREFIX
	       If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that GTK+ was  built  with  when  computing  the  output  for  the
	       --cflags and --libs options.  This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
