Hi Chris:

You'll need libgtk and libgdk, plus the little eugtk.so supplied with the 
package. I don't think the version matters a lot, I'm not using any 
bleeding-edge stuff here.

So far, I've had no problem running this in Mandrake 7.1, 8.0, 8.1, RedHat 
7.1, SuSE 6.4, or TurboLinux (something or other).
Anyway, if you want to test to see if you can actually run any gtk programs,
copy the following code and save it as gtkwin.c:

/* Basic GTK+ app */

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

gint main (gint argc, gchar *argv[])
{
 GtkWidget * TheWindow;
 gtk_init( &argc, &argv);

 TheWindow = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
 gtk_widget_show(TheWindow);

 gtk_main();

 return 0;
}

Next, compile it using 
gcc gtkwin.c -o gtkwin `gtk-config --cflags --libs` 
(Note: Those are back-tic's)

If it compiles, the needed libraries must be there.
If not, let me know what the error messages are.

Regards,
Irv
