I think I know what the problem is. libgtk has multiple dependencies
(about a dozen) and each of those has its own dependencies.
No doubt you are missing some library files that are needed. 
Rather than trying to track them all down, which could take days, 
why not just reload Mandrake. Choose "expert" mode, and select 
"Development Station" (something like that) as well as any others 
you want. (Web server, etc). Be sure to choose both Gnome and KDE 
as your GUI's of choice. That should load everything you need, as 
Elias pointed out.

It's a program that returns a list of the libraries and where they're located.
Much easier than typing in:
-I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include 
-I/usr/X11R6/include
-L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule
-lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm
