gtk-config & glib-config

[harsha <harshu@hd2.vsnl.net.in>]

hi,
    I am trying to compile abisuite-0.7.14 and I am stuck with the
problem that has left me scratching muy head. abisuite requires that
gtk-config and glib-config be present.

    If I try to install libglib1.2-dev it removes libgtk-dev. The
reverse happens if libglib1.2-dev installed. The output :


apt-get -s install libglib1.2-dev

-rw-r--r-- root/root       834 2000-12-24 07:41:01 ./usr/share/man/man1/gtk-config.1.gz

Any ideas as to how to have both installed?
What I have done is to copy glib-config to a temporary place and install
libgtk-dev. then copied glib-config to /usr/bin. that solved the problem
though. I am now stuck with missing zlib. 

What I am asking is what is the proper way to do it rather than doing
as I have done.
