<vent>Personally, I *hate* compiling GTK based packages for reasons like 
this.</vent>

My first guess would be that you don't have "pkgconfig" installed, which 
tells gtk where to find all the stuff on the system.  Use YaST to 
install pkgconfig and see if you get closer to making it work.  If you 
ever find yourself with GTK software that is installed but that 
configure can't find, pkgconfig is probably the culprit.

If that's not the problem, you'll probably have to start solving this 
the "old fashioned way".  (lots of work :-)

BTW, your compile line looks correct.  On my 9.0 system, I see:

[17 ~/src] locate gtk-x11
/opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
/opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.200.3
[18 ~/src] ll /opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           25 Jun  8 13:25 
/opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 -> libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.200.3
[19 ~/src] ll /opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.200.3
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      2520527 Jan 15  2004 
/opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.200.3

So you have the correct "-L" in the link line, assuming those libs exist 
on your system too (you should check for this).

HTH,
Kevin
