I'm not sure if you got an answer for this. In the case where you didn't:

Are you sure that you installed GTK+ for armel? What do you see in
Scratchbox when you run ls -l /usr/lib/*gtk-x11*? If you have everything
set up OK, you should see:
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1400.7


The minor versions might be different on the last line, depending on the
exact version of the SDK you have. The first two are sym links to the third.

If you don't see this, you have not installed the SDK correctly, and ld
(the linker part of the compile process) can't find the library correctly.

Cheers,
Dave.
