Hi,

./configure exits with:

checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be
found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure
PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment
variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
configure: error: Cannot find GTK: Is gtk-config in path?
configure: error: ./configure failed for hfterm

but:
rpm -q gtk:
gtk-1.2.10-710

and:
find / -name gtk-config
<empty>

Does anybody can help?

    You have to install gtk-devel.
    Now it works fine here.

    First, "gtk-config" is provided by the gtk-devel libraries.
    The correct RPM for SuSE 9.0 can be had from....

    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.0/suse/i586/gtk-devel-1.2.10-721.i586.rpm

    SuSE+Gnome is unusual - you'll need to symlink "gtk-config"
    where the "configure" script expects it:

    # ln -s /opt/gnome/bin/gtk-config /usr/bin/gtk-config
    #

    Good luck.
