I don't understand which is your problem.
If you go to <http://www.gtk.org> you can download (from there or directly
from their ftp server) both glib-1.2.7.tar.gz and gtk+-1.2.7.tar.gz. The
sequence is to configure/build/install glib, then gtk+ then The GIMP.
1) `tar xzvf glib-1.2.7.tar.gz'
2) cd glib-1.2.7
3) ./configure
4) make
5) su (to root)
6) make install
7) `/sbin/ldconfig' (to make the new library visible within the database)
8) exit (the su shell)
9) repeat steps 1-8 for gtk+-1.2.7
Then repeat for The GIMP-1.1.7
If, when you run ./configure within gtk+-1.2.7, you see the error message
that gtk+-1.2.7 needs glib-1.2.7 but an earlier version was found, you need
to copy gtk-config from that directory to /usr/bin/gtk-config and
/usr/local/bin/gtk-config (at least, that's where they are on my Red Hat 6.1
systems).
