What I would do instead is:
GtkWidget **label[1000]; // if you have a dynamic number of labels,
consider using a GArray maybe
int i = 0;
label[i++] = gtk_label_new("first text"); // this will be label[0]
label[i++] = gtk_label_new("second text"); // this will be label[1]
…
After this, instead of creating a string "label1", you just need the
number 1, and can use this:
s = gtk_label_get_text(GTK_LABEL(label[1]));
where 1 can instead be a variable of int that holds 1:
int num = 1;
s = gtk_label_get_text(GTK_LABEL(label[num]));
