That is because the 2.x version of GTK+ and GLib no longer use the
*-config files. The newer versions use pkg-config to get the
configuration information, since that provides a more consistent
interface for a large number of packages.

Note, also, that your code will probably not quite work out of the box
if you build against the new versions of the libraries, since there were
a number of incompatible changes.

Have a look at http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/porting/ for the
changes you will need to make to your build infrastructure and code.
