I am having problems getting gtkmm (gtk with c++ bindings) and any gnome 
applications working.

With gtkmm, when I try to compile something with the command

g++ simple.cc -o simple `pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags --libs`
(taken from the tutorial from 
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/chapter-basics.html)

I get the error
Package pangocairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pangocairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'pangocairo', required by 'Pangomm', not found

After that, there are multiple compile errors based on the Gtk library 
not being found. I have pango, pango-devel, cairo, cairomm10, and 
cairomm10-devel installed, but cannot find a "pangocairo" package to 
install.

With gnome apps, after running the app, nothing happens. For example, I 
installed dia, gimp, and gnome-terminal. Running any of these programs 
resulted in the program immediantly exiting with no output. This occurs 
with the DISPLAY variable set and not set, and startx having been run or 
not run. I tried installing gnome-session, and using startgnome, but 
that only created a empty X window taking up the whole screen. The only 
gnome app I have successfully run is gnome-about.

Thanks for any help with this.
