Hello, Rex
Actually, there is no libgtk.la anywhere on our system.  As a result,
"grep /usr/lib/libgtk.la /usr/lib/lib*.la" returns no output
whatsoever.  (I do apologize if I'm being dense :))
Just for fun, via yum, I installed every package that Fedora would not
let me install because they took away the Everything install.  Still no
libgtk.la, and compilation fails just like quoted above.
If you have anything else you would like me to try, or if I
misunderstood what you already asked me to do, please feel free to ask
me.  That's what I'm here for.  I can't write code, but I can help in
ways like this :)

P.S.: I just had a REAL odd idea.  But I need to get somewhere soon, so
I'll get back to you if it works.
