in /opt/lib on my debian unstable box:
> l -1 *.so.*.*.*
libatk.so.0.0.0*
libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-1.3.so.0.0.0*
libgobject-1.3.so.5.0.0*
libgdk-x11-1.3.so.5.0.0*
libglib-1.3.so.5.0.0*
libgthread-1.3.so.5.0.0*
libgdk_pixbuf-1.3.so.5.0.0*
libgmodule-1.3.so.5.0.0
libgtk-x11-1.3.so.5.0.0*
Everything compiles and works fine, except that I need to hack gdkmain-x11.c to
get the stupid thing to work with gtk_init(NULL,NULL), since I'm loading the
lib at runtime (dlopen) from a lisp environment, and there's really no sensible
way of giving it argv and argc. I suppose I could give it some dummy args...

All you need to compile to get the latest gtk working is atk, pkgconfig, pango,
glib, and gtk+. Of course, having these as debian packages would simplify
matters greatly :)
