I think I am almost there, but not quite.

I do have gtk-2.0.pc

Check. It was there. I got it, and gpsim almost compiled.

That matches what happened here. I think I saw a bunch of
errors with readline.h.

I did try that and the compilation aborts with
configure:2296: error: Cannot find gtkextra-2.0 package
I have also run in to another troubling gotcha which I didn't
expect at all. Some of the libraries want me to have a
kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 installation.
I am not sure if I must boot the old kernel any time I need to
use the libraries or if that image is a sort of library, but it seems
kind of odd.
It seems that the new old glib I installed fixed most of the
problems so the new source you put in to the repository will probably
be my best bet. What exactly am I looking for to get the new source?
Thanks for your help.
