Hear is a suggestion.  I installed gtk using the ports on FreeBSD,
so maybe it is slightly different with you.  But I found that the
gtk-config program was actually called gtk12-config.  (I guess this
is in case you have both gtk 1.1 and gtk 1.2 installed.)  The easiest
way to get around this is to create a link:

ln -s /whereveritis/gtk12-config /someplaceforbins/gtk-config

that is, if this is your problem.  (If you are using tcsh type
gtk control-D - if you are using bash, type gtk TAB TAB TAB - this
will tell you all the programs you have installed that begin with
gtk.)
