Duncan, thank you... that helped a lot.  I ended up installing GTK-2 and got 
Pan 
to compile.  I didn't know about pkgconfig, it seems that is a "registry" of 
sorts that tracks what is installed and where.  Very interesting!  I only have 
enough knowledge to get into trouble, really.  This is on OS X, incidentally, 
so 
that's why I have limited exposure to all of this.

At any rate, it is now working and it was a great opportunity to update all the 
dependencies and get some compiling and troubleshooting practice.  :-)

Jeff
