gtkglarea installation problem

My gtk+-2.12.9 installation was successful
but when Am trying to install my gtkglarea it shows an error stating that gtk-config is missing
True that it is not found in my gtk2.12.9/bin

Error log
checking for GTK - version >= 0.99.7... ./configure: line 12482: /home/preyan/gtk+-2.12.9/gtkconf/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory
./configure: line 12483: /home/preyan/gtk+-2.12.9/gtkconf/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory

I have all my variables for library, executables and package config set
where does gtk install its gtk-config file ?

re: gtkglarea installation problem

gtk2-2.8.10-39.12 was the default installation on my SUSE linux
on referring to the actual file list of my default installation gtk-config was not found

re: gtkglarea installation problem

The solution Was To install the devel package associated with it to get the configuration file in place ...:)

Thanks
