not work on earlier versions of Mac OS).

+(GTK+ 2.4 won't work, as it requires Pango 1.4 with fontconfig support,
+and Pango 1.4 refuses to handle a fontconfig that pkg-config doesn't
+know about, such as the fontconfig in Panther) and the corresponding
+dependencies:
+
+ pkg-config
+ jpegsrc
+ libpng
+ tiff

+as well as GNU gettext, which isn't included in the directory of
+dependencies on the GTK+ FTP site. NOTE: you must install the
+pkg-config dependency first; unless it is installed, you cannot
+configure GLib or GTK+. After that, you must install GNU gettext; only
+after both of those have been built and installed will you be able to
+configure GLib. After configuring and installing GLib, configure,
+build, and install Pango, ATK, jpegsrc, libpng, tiff, and GTK+, in
+order. (The exact order might not be important, but you must configure,
+build, and install Pango and ATK before configuring GTK+ and, if you
+want GTK+ to be able to use the capabilities from the other libraries,
+you must configure, build, and install them before configuring GTK+.)

+You will need to do "make install-lib" for the JPEG library to install
+its libraries - "make install" does not suffice. You will also have to
+do "sudo ranlib /usr/lib/libjpeg.a" after "make install-lib".
+
+For libpng, use scripts/makefile.darwin, not scripts/makefile.macosx.

+In case you also have gtk1 installed, you will need to run configure
