hi, i am new to Unix. Trying to install gtk+ ran into few problems
any help will be appreciated
OS: RedHat 9
Questions:
1. On the ftp- server where I got the files for gtk+-2.0.0, besides
the main "gtk+-2.0.0.tar.gz" file that is being mentioned in the
Installation guide there are many other files for gtk+ (2.0.1 and
etc...)same for glib, pango and atk. What are they for and do I need
to download them as well? If yes, then which ones?
2. Do I need to extract the "gtk+-2.0.0.tar.gz" file into any
particular folder on the system or it does not really matter?
3. After extracting to the folder I created in my home directory, I
went to run the ./configure which gave the following errors:
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... missing
checking for working automake... missing
checking for working autoheader... missing
checking for working makeinfo... missing
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
4. I understand that previous problems might be caused by certain
variables not set-up. It is also mentioned in the Installation Guide
prior to running the ./configure I might need to set up flags
        CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/gtk/include" --
      LDFLAGS="-L/opt/gtk/lib"
      PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/gtk/lib/pkgconfig"
      export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS PKG_CONFIG_PATH
But my gtk+ extracted folder does not have any of the listed folders:
include, lib. So where do I find these folders??
5. Am I supposed to write:
LDFLAGS="-L/opt/gtk/lib" ' this gave me an error of command "LDFLAGS"
not found
or
SET LDFLAGS="-L/opt/gtk/lib"
6. now, I am aware that I have to extract atk, pango and glib files as
well. Which versions of them, I am assuming only 2.0.0 versions of
them, correct? What folder they must be extracted to?

7.I also noticed that on my system RedHat9 in the folder "/etc" I
already have such folders as "gtk", "gtk-2.0" etc..
What are they for?
thanks,
Andrew
