Yes, I've tried to build gtkada several times and failed so I grabbed an 
RPM version.  I have removed that version and am trying to build from 
scratch but I don't understand what the config script is having trouble 
with:


checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GTK - version >= 2.2.0... no
*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log 
for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK was incorrectly 
installed
*** or that you have moved GTK since it was installed.


but as far as I know, I've never touched the gtk+ installation on this 
system:
rlove at falcon> rpm -q 
gtk2                                                                                         
[/home/rlove]
gtk2-2.12.5-1.fc8
gtk2-2.12.5-1.fc8
rlove at falcon> rpm -q gtk2-devel
gtk2-devel-2.12.5-1.fc8
gtk2-devel-2.12.5-1.fc8
rlove at falcon>

I certainly seem to have GTK+2 installed and a version > 2.2.0 installed.  

The contents of config.log say:

configure:2985: checking for GTK - version >= 2.2.0
configure:3072: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 
-I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0

-lglib-2.0   >&5

rlove at falcon> locate libcairo
/usr/lib/libcairo.so.2
/usr/lib/libcairo.so.2.11.7
/usr/lib64/libcairo.so
/usr/lib64/libcairo.so.2
/usr/lib64/libcairo.so.2.11.7
/usr/lib64/libcairojava-1.0.so
/usr/lib64/libcairojni-1.0.so
/usr/lib64/libcairomm-1.0.so.1
/usr/lib64/libcairomm-1.0.so.1.1.0

so cairo is there as a shared library. 

Any advice is appreciated.
