Syntax can change a lot in 4 years since that book came out, with library changes, api changes, compiler version changes etc. It seems it can't find your gnome.h header file but that could be for a number of reasons.

Why not stick to a Gtk2.0-specific tutorial, like for example http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/ ? Their first example uses #include <gtk/gtk.h> rather than gnome.h and uses for example gtk_init rather than gnome_init.

ok, i will

Also, I suppose you have gtk2-devel installed - else you won't be able to build anything...

[grimx]

yes i have gtk2-devel installed.

There's probably a gnome devel lib needed too, try libgnome-devel. GTK is NOT gnome specific, so the gnome headers are in a seperate package, as they're entirely separate.
