BTW , you cannot install gcc as a regular user ( in your case: user1 ) ; you have to install it with superuser ot root privilegies.
So try this comand to install gcc on your Ubuntu PC :
      sudo apt-get install gcc
or
      sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4

maybe you just don't have gtk-config?
it's part of the GTK library version 1.x (GTK 2.* doesn't have or need gtk-config, but programs written for GTK 1.* can't compile on GTK 2.* alone)
nedvis and jack, i had gcc
atlast, i ran the following command to build the dependencies
'apt-get build-dep gcc'

after that, i was able to install my software.

thanks for the assistance.
congratulations! you should probably award points to nedvis
oh, you've already done it, sorry :)
