Can not find the gdk-pixbuf library or version is lower than required

One more, maybe last in the nasty complaining list for building GTK+-2.22.1, prerequisite for GTK+, which might be complaining the lower version than required or simply loss of it:

 1. yum -y reinstall gdk-pixbuf-devel.x86_64 gdk-pixbuf.x86_64
oops, no luck this time, ./configure of GTK still grouses there for missing it (on some platforms, this reintallation could only get the 0.22.0 version, for instance)

( if it wors ok now for you, stop here and congrutulations to you!)

2. download and built on source package

But gdk-pixelbuf-2.0 can NOT be found,  how repulsively this costly trivial steps end like this!


Finally, it is a conclusion:  you should build gtk-2.4, where gdk-pixbuf-2.0 will be included inside!!


ok, what else could we do but to follow it :

1.
go ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.4/ :

wget ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.4/glib-2.4.7.tar.bz2

bunzip glib-2.4.7.tar.bz2 && tar xvf   glib-2.4.7.tar.bz2

cd glib-2.4.7.tar.bz2 && ./configure && make && make install


pkg-config  --modversion  glib-2.0
2.4.7

2.
wget ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.4/pango-1.4.1.tar.bz2

same steps to install pango 1.4.1 as above

*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.4.7, but GLIB (2.26.1)
