Installing gtk+-2.8.7

[straightv6]

i'm trying to install gtk+-2.8.7 but when i do ./configure it stops here.
i already installed the package requirements. I'm not sure if i have to adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH like it says below.

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.7.1' but version of GLib is 2.6.6
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.7.1 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.9.0 cairo >= 0.9.2) were not met:



Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

gtk has dependencies, in order to upgrade to that version GLib,atk, and pango all need updated too as stated above

Download & Install
1. Glib
2. Atk
3. Pango
4. GTK

Make sure they are the proper versions. I'm sure Slackware has these, but older versions which are not satsifying the dependencies.
