Richard> Thanks. But how do I know what they're called?

Usually, it's called lib<libraryname>-dev or
lib<libraryname><version>-dev.  In your case, you're probably looking
for libglib1.2-dev, and libgtk1.2-dev.  You can usually find the package
by doing "apt-cache search <libraryname> dev", or
"apt-cache search lib<libraryname> dev" if the former returns too many
entries.
