try that command Ned recommended, really. If you want to look before doing : yum list gtk*;

In that case:
yum install gtk2 gtk2-devel

Funny thing is those are already installed.
However I require a later version of gtk+.
I'm attempting to compile from source.

GTK (Gimp Tool Kit) is a graphic library originally designed for Gimp, and needed by a series of graphical applications.
GTK1 (gtk+-1.2.10) is the old version of GTK, needed by GTK1 applications like XMMS, for example, with all those grey and unsexy menus.
As for the gtk2-2.10.4 package, it's one of those packages that are really behind in CentOS. The consequence of that is for example that GIMP can't be offered in a version greater than 2.2.
My advice : wait for CentOS 6.0 with a more recent GTK2.
Cheers,
Niki

CentOS comes with an old version of GTK 2. Most application these days require a later version of the library, so you have two realistic options: * Compile GTK from source and install it out of the standard library path, then specify the include paths for compiling and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the application. * Use another Linux distritbution or wait for CentOS 6
There's another option that is not guaranteed to work, copy all the libraries you need from another Linux distribution (Fedora?) into a directory, use LD_LIBRARY_PATH and pray that it works with CentOS, but I would not place much trust on this option.
I would personally go for the latter option as compiling a new version of GTK and its dependencies is not for the faint of heart, specially for something as obsolete (by choice) as CentOS.
