Most of GNOME isn't required, altho gnomelib is used if installed to handle stuff like browser-prefs. (If not installed, the $BROWSER environmental var is used, that var should be a colon separated list of browsers to try, complete with necessary command line options, the first one that works will be used, so you can put X based browsers first, and CLI based browsers such as links/lynx later in the list for use in CLI environments where the X based browser will fail.) Since I don't have GNOME installed here, I do NOT want gnomelib used, as I won't have it configured to point to the right browser anyway, while it's relatively easy to point the $BROWSER var to what I want. Similarly with gtkspell. That's only necessary if you want spellcheck to work. The problem, however, as mentioned by others, is likely the -devel packages. That's one reason I'm glad I'm on Gentoo now, because it builds stuff from source as a general rule, so there's no distinction between the library and the devel package. It's also possible there's a versioning issue -- gtk2.0 would be too old and is not likely on a modern system anyway (2.4 being the earliest PAN will take, 2.6 recommended), so that /would/ have a lot of dependencies to install, and wouldn't work anyway. However, some distributions may label some packages 2.0 when they mean 2.x, to distinguish from 1.x, and with the 2.x really meaning 2.6 or 2.8 or whatever. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
