compile hurdle 1.8.10

[John Griessen]

Hi,

I'm compiling 1.8.10 on a debian machine and I have most dependencies met except 
this...   gtkhtml

My system now seems to have many many versions of this library after installing 
to try t satisfy checking for gtkhtml >= 1.1
configure:13516: checking for gtkhtml < 1.1
there is a warning related to this situation.

the last configure error
is checking for ghttp_request_new in -lghttp

Anyone familiar with this requirement?

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkhtml-1.1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
