Prerequisites ============= GTK+ requires the following packages: - The GLib, Pango, and Atk libraries, available at the same location as GTK+ (Either Pango-1.0 or Pango-1.2 can be used with GTK+-2.2; Pango-1.2 is recommended.) - The TIFF, PNG, and JPEG image loading libraries. You most likely have these installed on your system already.
