Yup. Looks like you're using the wrong quotes in your compile command. You've got "single quotation marks" (i.e. ' ) but you need apostrophies (i.e. ` ) On my keyboard, the apostrophy is up by the non-keypad 1 key. Apostrophies (I've heard them called ticks too; that's only one sylable, much easier to "talk") mean: "run this command and put it's output **here**" So the output of the call to gtk-config (that gives the compiler flags, in your case, for bith #include directives and linking) will be supplied to gcc. This is failrly simple shell stuff and, incidentally, nothing to do with GTK+. The shell is your friend. Learn it well.
