No thats not what I meant see below.
Right now it builds agianst whatever version I checkout last. Which was 
about a month ago.  Cairo is close to stabilzing some let me mail the
gtk-dev list and see if there going to tag the repository soon. I was
waiting to upgrade the build till I got at least a semi stable tag
form gtk/cairo.
I saw you posted on the gtk-dev list see what they say.

First before you get on  the wrong path I mean you should use ..

http://www.directfb.org/downloads/Libs/gtk+-directfb-2.0.9-2.tar.gz

As far as binairies go can  some of the directfb maintainer respond ?

I'm actually working on a morphix cd distro so maybe we can just
collaborate on this
some. Its morphix with directfb/gtk etc ..
I think that simply doing a directfb morphix goodies cd would be the
best answer.
It meets your needs and also is useful to a wide variety of people.
