Problem with gtk

If I try to install something that needs gtk, I get an error like this:

----------------------
checking for glib-config... /usr/bin/glib-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.2... yes
checking for gtk-config... /usr/bin/gtk-config
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.2... no
*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the

*** or that you have moved GTK since it was installed. In the latter case, you

configure: error: *** GTK+ >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***

------------------

jokke root # gtk-config --version
1.2.10

I have installed the lastest x11-libs/gtk+ (2.2.1), but gtk-config shows 1.2.10, and the installation doesn't find either.

Anyone that could tell me what I've done wrong? It's probably a user-fault.. But I can't figure out what.

I found that I had to 'emerge gtk+-1.2.10' to get it to work. Aren't gtk+-2.2.1 an update of gtk+-1.2.10? ..

The 2 series is not backwards compatible with the 1 series.
