Well, yeah. You need compilers, but you also need the GTK devel 
packages, and probably even the X devel packages, etc etc etc. Generally 
I just install all the devel packages when I do the install.

All I know is that compiling programs isn't as hard as it's made out to 
be (unless it's some strange program that doesn't use automake, but 
those are fairly rare), so there must be something seriously wrong with 
your system. :)

Then again, I'm coming from a Linux From Scratch background, which is 
like gentoo except you do everything by hand and there is no fancy 
installer to hold your hand in the process :)
