The gtk2 package intentionally is meant to along side the GTK+-1.2 package, which is why ithas a different name. If it replaced GTK+-1.2, all GTK+ applications on your system would stop running. I believe that your problem is that you didn't install the -devel packages along with the main package. The -devel packages include the necessary header files and support information for compiling programs against GTK+.
