Don't let this become a habit ;-)

locate libgtk+.so and verify the dates of it with the date of
/usr/local/bin/gtk-config.
check if there are any other 'gtk-config' around (again use locate/find).
If this is the one of the old gtk+ installation, it would be an explanation.

generally in such cases search the ld-library-path
(for linux consult /etc/ld.so.conf) and the binary exec path for duplicates.
hope this helps.
