I've run ldconfig...  I basically run it after everything I install just
incase....  And everything looks linked just fine...  I downloaded the gtk+
binaries and the compiled ORBit and that went just fine.  But when I tried to
configure gnome-libs, it tried to run a test on gtk+ and it fails saying:

checking for gtk-config... /usr/bin/gtk-config
checking for GTK - version >= 1.1.1... no
*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...

configure: error: GTK not installed
bash# 
  
and here's a segment of what's printed when I run ldconfig -v 

/usr/lib:
        libgtk-1.1.so.2 => libgtk-1.1.so.2.0.0
        libgdk-1.1.so.2 => libgdk-1.1.so.2.0.0

I've reverted to gtk+-1.1.2 and glib-1.1.3 because those are the only binaries
I could find on ftp.gnome.org... But according to the "Getting Started" page
there, this should be just fine.

I guess I'm really out of ideas now...  I think I'll try changing the prefix
and exec-prefix directories in gtk-config...

Thanks...
