[sylpheed:36890] Trouble compiling Sylpheed 3.7.0

I must have changed a setting in my Sylpheed, because I am now getting
messages there is a new version when I start Sylpheed on my computer (I'm
using 3.5.0).

So, I decided I would update it.

I downloaded the source code's .bz2 file from
https://osdn.net/projects/sylpheed/downloads/68999/sylpheed-3.7.0.tar.bz2/
extracted the files, and started to compile it.

It went fine through
	$ ./configure

but it had a problem after
        $ make

The end of the make was:


  CC       notificationwindow.o
  CCLD     sylpheed
compose.o: In function `compose_signature_menu_create':
/home/software/Email/sylpheed-3.7.0/src/compose.c:6223: undefined
reference to `gtk_widget_set_tooltip_text' collect2: ld returned 1 exit
status make[4]: *** [sylpheed] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/software/Email/sylpheed-3.7.0/src'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/software/Email/sylpheed-3.7.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Does anyone have an idea about what causes this?

Could this be related to my trying to compile on my CentOS 5.11 system
with:

gtk+-1.2.10-57.el5
gtk+-devel-1.2.10-57.el5
gtk+extra-2.1.1-6.el5
gtk+extra-devel-2.1.1-6.el5
gtk2-2.10.4-30.el5
gtk2-devel-2.10.4-30.el5
gtk2-engines-2.8.0-3.el5
gtkcdlabel-1.14-1.el5.rf
gtkextra-0.99.17-1.2.el5.rf
gtkextra-devel-0.99.17-1.2.el5.rf
gtkhtml2-2.11.0-3
gtkhtml3-3.16.3-1.el5
gtkmm2-2.2.12-1.el5.rf
gtkmm24-2.10.9-1.el5.rf
usermode-gtk-1.88-3.el5.2

?

Thank you,


Craig
