To do something similar, here is what I do: -> create a directory where to install the new GTK (/local/G_EXTRA for example) -> in gtk+'s sources, run ./configure --prefix=/local/G_EXTRA (with some other arguments if you want) -> make; make install Now you've got Gtk+ installed in /local/G_EXTRA, and need to set a few environment variables if you want to use it (before running ./configure in your sources anyway): LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /local/G_EXTRA/lib PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /local/G_EXTRA/lib/pkgconfig PATH to /local/G_EXTRA/bin DEVHELP_SEARCH_PATH to /local/G_EXTRA/share/gtk-doc/html and a few others for your own convenience. You can install other programs and libraries as well (I installed the whole Gnome 2.10 this way).
