"Reply-To" is overridden by Google Groups so I'm adding vim-dev as "To:".

Configure is a script, different for each package. Vim configure never
compiles the GTK packages; if configure compiled them, it must have been a
different configure, from some other source and in some different directory.

from the errors in the config log below, it looks like you have a spurious
slash at the end here

IIUC, pkg-config is proprietary Debian (also used on Ubuntu). Configure should
be looking for "something" which is supposed to exist in every GTK2
development environment.

Try removing the slash after 2.8.20, and make sure that the package gtk2-dev
(or gtk2-devel or whatever your distro calls it) is installed. Or if your GTK2
packages are located "at a standard location" on your filesystem, you could
omit the --with-gtk-prefix argument altogether.
I use the following settings, which I set as environment variables, by
sourcing -- not running -- the following script before running make, and I
have no problems compiling gvim with GTK2/Gnome2 GUI on openSUSE 10.3 (or,
until last week, openSUSE 10.2). (Note: make config, make reconfig and, if no
config cache exists, plain make with no target, all invoke configure in the
course of their operations.)

CLONE OF MY OWN (to Home on the Range)
Oh, give me a clone
Of my own flesh and bone
With the Y chromosome changed to X.
And when she is grown,
My very own clone,
We'll be of the opposite sex.
Chorus:
Clone, clone of my own,
With the Y chromosome changed to X.
And when we're alone,
Since her mind is my own,
She'll be thinking of nothing but sex.
