In that case:

yum install gtk2 gtk2-devel

Funny thing is those are already installed.

However I require a later version of gtk+.

I'm attempting to compile from source.

[kikinovak@babasse:~] $ rpm -qa | grep ^gtk
...
gtk2-2.10.4-20.el5
gtk2-engines-2.8.0-3.el5
gtk+-1.2.10-56.el5
...

GTK (Gimp Tool Kit) is a graphic library originally designed for Gimp,
and needed by a series of graphical applications.

GTK1 (gtk+-1.2.10) is the old version of GTK, needed by GTK1
applications like XMMS, for example, with all those grey and unsexy menus.

As for the gtk2-2.10.4 package, it's one of those packages that are
really behind in CentOS. The consequence of that is for example that
GIMP can't be offered in a version greater than 2.2.

My advice : wait for CentOS 6.0 with a more recent GTK2.

Cheers,

Niki

CentOS comes with an old version of GTK 2. Most application these days
require a later version of the library, so you have two realistic options:
* Compile GTK from source and install it out of the standard library
path, then specify the include paths for compiling and use
LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the application.
* Use another Linux distritbution or wait for CentOS 6

There's another option that is not guaranteed to work, copy all the
libraries you need from another Linux distribution (Fedora?) into a
directory, use LD_LIBRARY_PATH and pray that it works with CentOS, but I
would not place much trust on this option.

I would personally go for the latter option as compiling a new version
of GTK and its dependencies is not for the faint of heart, specially for
something as obsolete (by choice) as CentOS.
