Compiling new Gaim 0.60 problem and GTK

[athlonthunder]

i was wondering where i can get a GTK+ v. 2.2 deb package

I am nervous about upgrading through source code compilation/installation, and directions for what to do to install it after doing these are ambiguous:
./configure
make

question:
run 'make install' ?

how do i install gtk+ from source? do i compile it in its own directory and then drop in into /usr/local and add a path to it? ?????????

when i tried to compiling configuration command in GAIM v 0.60 source directory, i got this:
