    I've been compiling sylpheed-claws from CVS for several weeks on my SUSE
    9.3 box with no issues. For the past week, it has failed to compile and
    gives the following error:

    <snip>
    checking for library containing encrypt... -lcrypt
    checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config
    checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.4.0... no
    *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
    *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
    for the
    *** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly
    installed.
    configure: error: Test for GTK failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

    I've done some upgrades via apt over the past month, so something may
    have happened there, but I've not been able to trace the cause of the
    issue. I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right
    direction as far as what to check.

    salamander:/home/trey # pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags
    -DXTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -I/opt/gnome/include/gtk-2.0
    -I/opt/gnome/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include
    -I/opt/gnome/include/atk-1.0 -I/opt/gnome/include/pango-1.0
    -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/freetype2/config
    -I/opt/gnome/include/glib-2.0 -I/opt/gnome/lib/glib-2.0/include

    Thanks.
