Debian question

[Kurt]

I have two programs that i'd like to install, but need
to have GTK+ installed first. Now to install GTK+ i
also have to have Pango, ATK, and Glib.
./configure
make
make install
blah, blah, blah 
I seem to have problems with Pango. Is there not a
simple way to just get GTK+ and have the dependencies
automatically updated and installed as well? Ive only
been on Debian for about two days now, and its kind of
stumping me. Debian 3 on Sparc 64. Any help is
appreciated.

Kurt
