rpm problem

[Tbone C <tbonefox usa net>]

Hi,

I'm a newbie in the Linux world and I have a *big* problem for me:

I've just installed RedHat 6.2 and after surfing few moments I've downloaded
some applications (Gimp,...) requiring GTK+ 1.2.8
OK, I download it and I will install it.
After few moments, I try "rpm -i --force gtk+-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm" and that's
right.

I must now install Gimp, I type "./configure" and I've this on my console:
"
...
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.8... 
*** An old version of GTK+ (1.2.6) was found.
*** You need a version of GTK+ newer than 1.2.8. The latest version of
*** GTK+ is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org.
***
*** If you have already installed a sufficiently new version, this error
*** probably means that the wrong copy of the gtk-config shell script is
*** being found. The easiest way to fix this is to remove the old version
*** of GTK+, but you can also set the GTK_CONFIG environment to point to the
*** correct copy of gtk-config. (In this case, you will have to
*** modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf
*** so that the correct libraries are found at run-time))
no
configure: error: Test for GTK failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help."

I've edited /etc/ld.so.conf where I add this line: "/usr/bin" where gtk-config
is. but without results.

How can I point to the correct copy of gtk-config ??? 


Thanks to help me.

Theo.
