The first line seems to indicate that I'm missing the whole package.

No, you're missing the development package. Run

# apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

to get it.


Actually, there were a number of stupid typos in the source and in yhe
command line. Plus, I thought I had installed the 'gnome-devel' package,
but hadn't. Everything now runs without a hitch. Thanks all for the support
and the understanding.
