It's not the gtk-library but the gdb-library which (as far as I know) is
used to make debugging work in the ide. To work around the missing lib I'd
suggest to compile the the different packages in the packages directory
manually. 

eg:  cd packages
     make gtk
     make api
     make zlib

If this does'nt work you'll have to go in the package directory directly before 
calling make.

eg: cd packages/gtk
    make

bye,
