I have recently switched from ubuntu to xubuntu with xfce V4.8, hozever I was missing badly to be able to switch between different keyboard layouts. So I was glad to fin XKB, however I have problems installing.
./configure gives at the end an error message:
checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6.0... not found
*** The required package gtk+-2.0 was not found on your system.
*** Please install gtk+-2.0 (atleast version 2.6.0) or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
*** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that
*** pkg-config is able to find it.

as far as I can see from the packages manager the installed version of libgtk2.0-0 is 2.24.6-0ubuntu5, so supposing that 24>6 this should be OK
My system is a clean install, so everything should be in the standard place. I tried to check the PKG_CONFIG_Path variable, but I cannot find it.

I'm quite a beginner with linux and especially XFCE, so I would appreciate a little help
thanks in advance

I just discovered that the web page at 
http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-xkb-plugin
is not up to date as it says that the latest version is 5.4.1, whereas here :
http://archive.xfce.org/src/panel-plugins/xfce4-xkb-plugin/0.5/
and in the bug tracking the latest version seems to be 5.4.3
HOWEVER, I still have the same problem

Hello.

Please try to use package that comes from Ubuntu repository (apt-get install xfce4-xkb-plugin). If you need still compile package from sources, you'll need dev-packages. In case gtk+-2.0 you need install libgtk2.0-dev package.
